April 21 is the last day of National Volunteer Week and the first day of National Park Week; Earth Day is April 22--get a jump with us to help clean the earth!
The seashore will host volunteer beach cleanup events at the following locations:
-
Coquina Beach on Bodie Island (meet park staff at the bathhouse)
- Old Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Site on Hatteras Island (meet park staff in the parking lot)
Concurrent with the seashore events, NCBBA members will be stationed at the park’s off-road vehicle ramps where visitors can obtain trash bags for collecting litter during their visit. Participants are asked to deposit the trash bags at the ramp entrance for collection.
All participants and volunteers are encouraged to bring leather gloves, water, snacks, and sunscreen. Please wear appropriate clothing, such as closed-toe shoes and hats.
Cape Hatteras National Seashore and the North Carolina Beach Buggy Association look forward to seeing you on April 21st.
