Help keep our beaches beautiful by participating in a self-led litter pick-up! Whether you're a regular visitor or a first-time volunteer, your efforts help protect local wildlife, improve public spaces, and promote environmental stewardship.
Please note:
This is not a scheduled or staff-led event. This opportunity simply allows you to log your volunteer hours after completing a beach or litter clean-up on your own time.
Before you begin, please review these helpful guidelines:
Do:
-
Choose a day for your cleanup so park staff can prepare a volunteer pass at the Indian River Marina Office.
Bring your own gloves and trash bags.
-
Wear closed-toe shoes and dress for the weather.
-
Use caution when picking up sharp objects, use a tool or leave them in place and notify park staff.
Dispose of collected trash properly
Stay hydrated and take breaks as needed.
-
Log your hours and submit a quick summary of your clean-up through the Galaxy platform.
Don’t:
-
Throw away natural materials (ex: horseshoe crab shells, driftwood).
Pick up hazardous waste (needles, chemicals, etc.), alert park staff if found.
-
Approach wildlife or disturb natural habitats.
-
Venture into restricted areas or private property.
-
Leave filled trash bags unattended, secure them in proper receptacles.
-
Work alone in remote areas, stick to well-traveled sections of the park or beach.
Thank you for being a part of our stewardship efforts! Your time and care make a real difference for the park, the community, and our wildlife.
