Thank you to all the volunteers and employees that helped with the Bay Beach Cleanup! We hope to have another cleanup scheduled soon!

This week, we were able to recover and relocate some non-native specimens from our local habitat!
..Well, they're definitely not found around here naturally, at any rate. ;)

Want to help out? We're hosting an Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup tomorrow morning— Saturday, April 18— at 9:00A.M. Volunteers will meet and sign in at the Oso Bay Wetlands Preserve Learning Center where we will provide snacks and coffee, before we head out to the cleanup sites, where staff and volunteers will pick up and remove trash from beach and wetland areas of Oso Bay Wetlands Preserve and Holly Hike and Bike Trail.

You can sign up ahead of time online at the link below, or in person tomorrow morning. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please wear close-toed shoes, and hats, sunscreen, and bug spray are recommended. You are welcome to bring your own gloves or grabbers, but we will also be providing work gloves, bags, buckets, and grabbers for participants to use.
