Why Join Saugus Action Volunteers for the Environment?

To be part of a long-established volunteer community
group working to improve
Saugus, our environment, and our outlook.

"Think globally, act locally" describes our actions well.  SAVE members

have, among other projects, helped establish curbside recycling in Saugus,

conserved historic and environmentally sensitive land on Vinegar Hill,

and established a scholarship fund.

As a member you will meet others with similar goals.  We encourage all members
to attend our monthly meetings, lend your voice, share your ideas, volunteer to help
with our events.  Do as much as you
like, or just support our activities with your name
and dues.  Help shape
our agenda.

Town of Saugus Founder's Day

Last year we asked folks to stop by the SAVE table and bring their worn-out
athletic shoes
(any brand) to drop into our recycling bin.  SAVE delivered the

athletic shoes to the nearest Nike Reuse-A-Shoe drop-off site for recycling

into materials used in playground and sports surfaces.  It was a great success
and we will do it again this year.

And SAVE will have a “mercury drop-off” station at our table for small items
such as button cell batteries, hearing aid and watch
batteries, thermometers
and thermostats.  Our hope is that recycling these
items will help in our efforts
to reduce our carbon footprint!

What are we trying to SAVE?

Saugus has a rich variety of natural habitats and an abundance of native

plant and animal life that is well worth preserving.
 
 

SAVE's involvement with the maintenance of the Saugus Tree Farm with
volunteers from the Saugus Tree Committee helps to protect and nurture
trees that are provided to locations throughout the town.
 
 

The Saugus River is an important element in the history of Saugus.  

saugusriver425.jpg


















The river made the settling of the town practical in the early
1600's and provided the electricity
for early American industry. Today
the river remains picturesque in addition to providing an
environment for
numerous fish, waterfowl, river otters, and other animals.

Our freshwater bodies, including Birch Pond,Hawkes Pond, Stevens Pond, Prankers Pond,
Peckham Pond, Walden Pond,
Long Pond, Spring Pond, Griswold Pond, Pearce Lake,
Silver Lake,
and many more provide a friendly environment for a variety of wild life.

Saugus has both typical fresh water marshes, some examples of which can be found in
Breakheart Forest, and atypical salt water marshes,
notably Rumney Marsh.
A portion of Rumney Marsh is set up as
Rumney Marsh Reservation and the bulk of
Breakheart Forest is set
up as Breakheart Reservation and are thus currently protected,
however, neither of these areas are protected in their entirety.

What are our Priorities?
the preservation and protection of all natural resources, particularly our wetlands.
-  national/state/local legislation to reduce or eliminate pollution
-  the careful, long-range planning of remaining open space in town. 
-
 laws to protect and preserve all sites of historic interest to Saugus.

SAVE is committed to encouraging and supporting local, state and national legislation
that promotes, establishes, and expands programs for solid waste management based on
"reduce, reuse, and recycle", so that each day we get closer to the goal of 'zero waste'.
