Duxbury Land Trust

Once again, the Duxbury Land Trust is organizing Green Up Day for the town of Duxbury! We hope you’ll volunteer and bring your friends.

We’ll need lots of volunteers! With the frequent floods the river areas were particularly hard hit, and our other roads always accumulate a lot of trash.

If you know of specific problem areas, such as illegal dumps, please let us know.

To volunteer or for more information, please contact Jessica Engels at
978-846-3430 or jessicaengels58 @gmail.com

Solhem Sauna LLC was founded in 1986 by South Duxbury resident, Nils Shenholm. Nils
was a Duxbury Land Trust board member for a number of years and coordinated Duxbury’s Green Up Day for the Trust for 14 years.

While his preferred approach is to continue the Finnish tradition of sauna as a free-standing structure, he can adapt the sauna to accommodate individual preferences and does many modern indoor stove rooms as well. For more information visit Solhem Sauna online or email: nils@saunavermont.com or 802-244-6460.

Welcome Solhem Sauna. We appreciate your support.

Thanks to all who went out equipped with bright green bags to “green up” Duxbury on May 1, 2021! 

As many as 60 volunteers covered all main town roads this year, working on their own roads and spreading out to take on others that needed more attention. They picked up all sorts of trash; wrestling old, soggy mattresses from the roadsides and even tackling an ancient legacy dump on River Road. In all, Duxbury volunteers collected 2.64 tons of tires and 1.65 tons of trash in one event!

This was Duxbury Land Trust’s 24^th year organizing Duxbury’s Green Up Day. We couldn’t have done this without our town officials: Select Board members, Town Clerk and Treasurer Maureen Harvey, and Highway Foreman Brian Gibbs. 

Thank you to all for making Green Up Day a success!

Green Up Day is Saturday, May 1 and is being organized by the Duxbury Land Trust. We need your help to beautify our special town. Please help by collecting trash on your own road or helping out with more highly traveled or roads needing additional help.

Contact Audrey Quackenbush with questions and to report on your plans. Telephone (802) 244-7512.

Official Green Up bags are available in the black mailbox outside the Duxbury Town Clerk’s office. Please bring filled bags and tires found along the roadsides only to the town highway department, Route 100. North Duxbury volunteers can leave their bags at the pull-off in front of the railroad gate on the River Road. Please no personal trash, or tires.

Use common sense in venturing out, dress appropriately, and due to COVID concerns, wear a facial covering and stay at a distance when working with those not in your own household.

Get involved with Green Up this year and help make it a success!
