Great turnout today in the rain for the CRC & CRWA Earth Day Cleanup with so many volunteers from Cambridge Running Club, Davidson College, Riverside Boat Club, the University of Florida and neighbors, too. Thank you, all!
The park is clean and with its spring blossoms and Mass Audubon’s Nature Center open weekends, ready for visiting.
See photos below. Any thoughts about what Liam’s mystery object is or what purpose it served? He found it along the shoreline. It is by far the most beautiful object we’ve found on a river cleanup. Update: Friend and sailor Jamie Frankel has identified it as a cowl/air scoop, part of a boat. (Thanks, Jamie!) What is that, you might ask. Google says:
Some of the heat from these exhaust gases will transfer to the engine bay. A cowl vent, however, will help to reduce heat buildup. It will allow fresh air to enter the engine bay, thus protecting the engine bay from excessively hot temperatures.
Take note: Mass Audubon’s first 2024 Nature in the City Festival is NEXT Saturday, April 27, 12-5pm. Learn more about this program and others at the park here.
