If you are driving along Main Street, from Mill Pond to Chestnut Street, you may see husband and wife team, Jan Poppendieck and Mike Jones, picking up trash. Give them a honk, wave, or “high five” to show your appreciation for their hard work keeping that area, their adopted street, 

looking clean year-round. Poppendieck and Jones relocated to Ashland in May 2017 to be closer to family, and a month later, joined the GreenUp Ashland ‘Adopt A Street.’ The couple finds that being part of a team of volunteers from throughout the town is both good exercise and rewarding.
