Vermont was the first state to designate a day to clean up the entire state.
Started in 1970 by Gov. Deane C. Davis, this unique tradition continues with thousands of Vermonters taking care of Vermont. Green Up Day is a statewide event that brings community volunteers of all ages together to clean up our neighborhoods and public lands. Held every year on the first Saturday of May, this event is family friendly, and a great way to get involved in our community.
