The town of Southwick wants residents to talk to any organizations that they are associated with that would be interested in helping out.
“We’re trying to hopefully get a good turnout,” said Conservation Commission Coordinator Dennis Clark.
Town officials also want to remind people that it is a community-wide event.
“We’re involved with it, we’re encouraging it,” said Select Board Chairman Russ Fox. “We think it’s a great thing.”
