The town of Freetown is hosting its annual Earth Day Clean Up from 9 a.m. to noon April 11, according to a community announcement.

Volunteers are encouraged to register in advance and select a preferred cleanup location. On the day of the event, participants will check in at their designated pick-up points to receive cleanup kits before beginning their assigned cleanup efforts. A map of cleanup areas and additional event details are available on the town’s website.

After the cleanup, the town will host a volunteer appreciation celebration from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Freetown Council on Aging, 227 Chace Road, East Freetown. The gathering will feature lunch, complimentary Earth Day T-shirts, gift bags donated by the Freetown Public Library, group photos and a live turtle encounter program presented by Mass Audubon.
