Description

Join us for a unique volunteer opportunity at The Bay Beach at Cape Henlopen State Park as part of the Two Lights for Tomorrow initiative! This event combines environmental stewardship with a journey through local maritime history.

Volunteers will begin with a brief history of the Cape Henlopen Lighthouse and other historic beacons that once guided sailors into the Delaware Bay. Afterward, we’ll roll up our sleeves for a beach clean-up, helping to preserve the beauty and health of our coastline.

This is a great opportunity to learn about our region’s maritime heritage while making a tangible impact on the environment.
