Description
Lend a hand in our drop-in litter clean up program. Simply check in at the Paul H. Doulas Center to receive trash bags, then choose from one of our many beach areas or hiking trails to collect trash. Visitors are awaited with a free, reusable water bottle for filling up their bags. Please leave trash at a trash can on the site you hiked.
There will be temporary passes available for those volunteering during this event. For more information, visit our Fees & Passes page.
This is part our drop-in program, a no-hassle volunteering option for those looking to give a few hours of their time.
