This litter education program, presented by the Grand Falloons, takes participants on a unique and lively exploration of “Our Earth”. Attendees will learn what litter is, what limited resources are, why we should recycle, and what happens to refuse after it is put out on the street for collection.

Be prepared for an active learning experience!

This free program is appropriate for organized groups and the whole family. For more information and to register, call 908-637-4125. Funding for this program is made possible by Mansfield Township Clean Communities Program. Registration required.
