ICC International Coastal Cleanup! Sunday, Sept 22, 2024 signup sheet
Deactivated
This signup sheet is not accepting new volunteers.
Please contact the event coordinator for further details.
Join First Landing State Park volunteers and friends in this annual effort to collect litter on our beaches and create data to use to help us all #Sea the Change! The Ocean Conservancy partners with organizations around the globe to bring awareness, prompt action, and elicit advocacy for cleaner oceans.
"Plastic pollution is a massive problem for our ocean, but even small actions can make a big difference. Every bottle, every straw, every piece of trash you clean up can lead to a cleaner, healthier ocean. Join us this season to clean up First Landing State Park's Bay Beach. When we clean up our home, all those that live in the ocean can #SeaTheChange!"
Our event is for all ages and anyone can join. We provide instructions for the data collection as well as all needed supplies.
If the weather is heavy rain, we will cancel and reschedule, but a light drizzle won't deter us!
Details:
Sunday, Sept 22, at the Main Visitor Center on the Bay/Campground side of the Park (2500 Shore Drive), 9-11:30
Parking is free for volunteers. Be sure to inform the Ranger at the Contact Booth that you are here for the Cleanup!
If you are bringing a group, please email tanya.wisoker@dcr.virginia.gov with numbers so I can have what you need.
NOTE: To reduce use of fossil fuel products, I encourage you to bring your own "recycled" bags (cereal bags, pet food bags, frozen food, etc) or buckets (cat litter, construction, even sand pails can carry litter items!).
