Thank you for joining us in celebrating our Decade Plus celebration! We enjoyed hosting a “full house” and sharing information about hope and action for climate change resiliency through environmental and community protections. There are so many ways that we can work together to continue our progress!
Please join our efforts in any capacity – all volunteer efforts are highly appreciated.
- Malden River Works Waterfront Park Project: check out www.maldenriverworks.org to review the project and find updates. We need public pressure to keep the project on track!
- Wicked Cool Mystic: The community data has been collected to formulate a pilot program for communities to adopt interventions to protect the more vulnerable populations
- Adopt a Storm Drain Project: Malden is one of the few municipalities not signed on to the program! Let’s change this! Sign on with friendsofthemaldenriver@gmail.com to create a Storm Drain Community Program – find a storm drain (or more) to keep clear of litter and debris. This helps prevent flooding and from trash and debris from entering the Malden River and other waterways.
