Join us at First Landing State Park on Saturday, June 1st, as we participate in a large-scale cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay. Family and friends are welcome.
Clean the Bay Day has two purposes: One is to remove as much litter from our waterways and shorelines as possible. The other is to collect data on the type and amount of litter collected. That data is used by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to guide advocacy and legislation to protect our waterways.
From the State Park Volunteer Coordinator:
- Volunteers working do not pay to park; they will be given a parking pass.
- Do not rely on your GPS for directions using the park addresses.
- Chesapeake Bay Beach means entering the Park on the north side of Shore Drive, the campground side; park in the main lot or by the Visitor Center.
- Bring water, dress for the weather, and wear shoes for walking in the sand.
- The group leader (Ross) will be responsible for getting everyone in the group signed in.
- Once we are all signed in, we will then be given instructions and supplies. FLSP volunteers will direct you to a specific area of the beach, campground, or trail.
- If you are unable to walk in the sand, volunteers are welcome to walk around the buildings and parking lots to collect litter- that trash ends up in the Bay, too!
We hope to see you there!
