Scotch Plains Earth Day Community Clean Up 2026
Earth Day came about as a way to promote environmental awareness. It started out on a very small scale but has grown to become a worldwide event. Scotch Plains needs volunteers as well as site captains to help clean up our local parks, waterways, and properties around the community. If you’d like to help with the clean-up, please visit the Scotch Plains Community Pass website here to sign up. While garbage bags will be provided, organizers request that volunteers bring gloves. And make sure you wear closed-toe, comfortable shoes for safety.
Downtown Westfield Bunny Trail
This Sunday is Easter Sunday. It also marks the end of the Downtown Westfield Bunny Trail event. The Bunny Trail runs throughout Downtown Westfield. More than 30 businesses hid little plush bunnies inside their establishment. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find and photograph as many as possible. When you take a photo, scan the attached QR code and upload that photo to the form that the link goes to. Each upload grants you an entry into a drawing for a $50, $75, or $150 gift card to use at one of the downtown businesses. Happy hunting.
I am grateful to all who entrusted me with your life-changing real estate moves and to all who referred me to your family and friends!
