Black Point Park Coastal Cleanup (2nd Saturday)
On the second Saturday of every month, volunteers can assist the Black Point Park & Marina staff and beautify this coastal park to keep our ocean ecosystem healthy.
This volunteer opportunity is made possible with the support of our community partner, Turtle Team. Turtle Team is a non-profit dedicated to creating a network of volunteers who will promote the health of our oceans.
