Protect What You Love


Help protect the wild Olympic Coastline by joining a coastal cleanup.

Olympic National Park partners with Washington CoastSavers for two annual coastal cleanups, see coastsavers.org for current dates:

  • Washington Coast Cleanup - around Earth Day in April
  • International Coast Cleanup - third Saturday in September

Are you visiting during the summer months? Olympic National Park's Volunteer Office organizes beach cleanups for groups through our Vacation Volunteers-In-Parks program.

A more in-depth look at our volunteer marine-debris crews from summer 2015. Eight teenagers from around the country backpack along the wild Olympic coast for two weeks. Their mission: to collect as much marine debris as they can pack out on their backs. Their story is one of partnership, stewardship and inspiring volunteerism. "This trip has influence how I'm going to live the rest of my life. I already miss the beach." Produced by NPS/Heather Stephens
