Cranston celebrates Earth Day
DOWN IN THE MUD: Leslie Eastman, Martha Iacetta, and Sarah Lee are among dozens of volunteers who dredged up dozens of bags worth of litter from Stillhouse Cove Saturday for their annual Earth Day cleanup. Members of Edgewood Waterfront Preservation Society and Save the Bay were there to attest to the vulnerability of the salt marsh due to flooding, and an influx of microplastics. Another cleanup will be going on May 4 from 9 - 11 a.m. (Photo by Kevin Fitzpatrick)

WAIDERS ON: Dozens of volunteers scoured the marsh, but there’s still more to do. Another cleanup day on May 4 will hopefully do more to stem the flow of plastics and repair some of the erosion the cove has suffered in the past year. (Photo by Kevin Fitzpatrick
