Join us at First Landing State Park on Saturday, June 3rd, in a large scale Chesepeake Bay clean up event. I apologize for the late email! After June's events, we intend to advertise volunteer opportunities as far in advance as possible to maximize everyone's availablity. Family and friends are welcome, but we will need accurate numbers by Thursday, June 1st, so the volunteer coordinator can have our names on the list.
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.
- Volunteers working for CTBD 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 behind the Visitor Center.
- Bring water, dress for the weather, and wear shoes for walking in sand.
- If you are with any size of group, the group leader (Shelby) will be responsible for getting everyone in the group signed in
- Once you are all signed in, you will then be given instructions and supplies FLSP volunteers will direct you to a specific area of beach, campground, or trail.
- If anyone in your group is unable to walk in sand, we welcome volunteers to walk around our buildings and parking lots to collect litter- that trash ends up in the Bay, too!
Can't wait to see some of you there!
