Description

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 is simply a way for 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:

  • 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.

  • Stay hydrated and take breaks as needed.

  • Dispose of collected trash properly at park dumpsters or designated collection areas.

  • Log your hours and submit a quick summary of your clean-up through the platform or contact form.

Don’t:

  • 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.
