Volunteers will receive a one-day pass to any national park or public land. You must sign up to volunteer to receive the pass. The pass will be distributed in person at the cleanup location.
Cleanup events will be held at the Fort Pickens Area, Perdido Key Area, Okaloosa Area in Florida, and Davis Bayou Campground in Mississippi.
