Mowing for Muck: Seven-year-old raises money for oil spill clean up

A seven-year-old boy from Billerica is raising money to help treat wildlife impacted by the gulf oil spill. He’s doing it one lawn at a time, and your lawn could be next.

Eddie Trottier — nephew of Southborough resident and Recreation Department Director Doreen Ferguson — has taken to his lawn mower to raise funds on behalf of the National Wildlife Federation. Eddie is mowing lawns in Billerica and beyond, with all proceeds going to the oil spill clean up.

Eddie and his John Deere tractor will be in Southborough on Thursday. You can make an appointment to get your lawn mowed by calling his mother Karen at 978-569-6585.
