What to Bring: We invite volunteers to bring their own reusable supplies! Limit waste by bringing your own bag or bucket and gloves if you have them - but don't worry if you don't, we'll have some supplies on site for you to use. Wear proper clothing - closed-toe shoes (no sandals), a hat, and layers - and bring a personal water bottle and sunscreen. 

VOLUNTEER PROJECTS 

Beach cleanups start at our own front doors. Trash can travel through storm drains, creeks, and rivers to become beach pollution. This September let's help clean our beaches by cleaning up in our own neighborhoods and local natural areas.
