Sugar Loaf, NY (OCLT): Join the Orange County Land Trust and Quassaick Creek Watershed Alliance on Saturday, April 16 from 1-4 pm for a volunteer cleanup to help restore and beautify Crystal Lake in the City of Newburgh.

Participants of the cleanup will help remove garbage and trash from sections along Crystal Lake, an 8-acre pond that was once a centerpiece of a public park. The site has been plagued by illegal dumping in recent years.
