SUMMARY:Public Lands Day Clean Up 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join Lowell National Historical Park for the annual Public Lands Day Clean-up! Volunteer to clean up along trails and riverbanks and help clear invasive plants and brush. Supplies including gloves are provided – we request that you please wear appropriate closed-toe shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty. \nVolunteers can plan to meet at the Concord River Green Way (Parking is at the Davidson St. open lot\, across the street from Lowell Memorial Auditorium off East Merrimack St.) \nThe National Park Service will be partnering with Lowell Parks and Conservation Trust\, Lowell Canalwaters Cleaners\, and Lowell Litter Krewe to clean along the Concord River Greenway in honor of Public Lands Day. \n“National Public Lands Day is more than a clean-up—it’s a chance to connect with new communities\, an event that creates kinship among those working together for a common goal\, and an opportunity to use America’s public lands for education\, recreation\, and overall physical and mental health. The theme for this year’s celebration is National Public Lands Day: Together for Tomorrow. Let’s join forces for a common goal\, stewarding America’s natural resources for future generations to enjoy. Be a part of this impactful day and help make a difference in our public lands!” -NPS

His pieces on arts\, history and culture have aired on National Public Radio and the Christian Science Monitor broadcast network. In 2004\, Kevin was a co-host of the nationally syndicated radio series Storylines New England\, an interview and call-in program about our regional literature. He has written and produced other special programming for NHPR as well\, including a 45-minute radio drama adapted by NH poet Julia Older from her own long poem\, Tales of the Francois Vase. \nKevin is also a longtime professional actor\, director\, and teacher of theatre. He has taught at the New Hampton School\, the NH Institute of Art\, and at St. Paul’s School. Since 1999 he has been the Master Teacher of the course Shakespeare for Performance in St. Paul’s summer Advanced Studies Program.
