SMHT has adopted 2 miles of Route 12B North of Hamilton, NY as a member of the statewide volunteer roadside cleanup program. We are fortunate that "our" two miles encompasses the frontage of the farmland we have protected under a protective farming easement. Our maintenance of the road started in July, 2007 with the removal of several hundred pounds of roadside trash. In October 2007 we collected a like amount of trash, but in May 2008 we got much less and hope this is a cumulative effect of our cleanup on Route 12B. Unfortunately, we continued to collect similar amounts in succeeding years.
