The event will be at 5 p.m. at the New Haven Free Public Library, 133 Elm St. It is being sponsored by the Connecticut Fund for the Environment and its program, Save the Sound.
Curt Johnson, program director and senior attorney for the organization, said the purpose of the event is to recognize Davis for his “remarkable job of keeping our rivers clean for a quarter century.”
Davis, 55, is an employee of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Trees going back more than a decade. Before that, he volunteered his time to clean the rivers and streams of New Haven. Over the years, Davis has pulled everything from shopping carts and sofas and thousands of bottles and boxes out of local waterways.
