the City of Burlington will host Green Up Day. Green Up, a

their neighbors to clean up, green up, and spruce up Burlington!
The day starts at 9:30am, with a post-event celebration at Battery Park
from 12:00 to 1:30pm - free lunch for Green Up! participants, and a
chance to mingle with community members, check out local organizations,
chat with elected officials, hear live music, and perhaps have a few
