Lemartec 2025 Cleanup at Peacock Park

Lemartec 2025 Cleanup at Peacock Park

Join a group of your colleagues for a fun and educational beach cleanup hosted by VolunteerCleanup.org.  We’ll help protect our marine environment by removing plastic marine debris while collecting important citizen science data, and compete for the chance to win prizes for whoever finds the strangest thing!

VolunteerCleaunp.org will provide all of the supplies for the cleanup (gloves, bags, pickers, buckets, sunscreen, insect repellent, hand-sani) 

Important Reminders for Volunteers:

  • FOOD/DRINK:  Please bring water in your own reusable water bottles. We will have coolers for cold water refills but do not provide and strongly discourage disposable plastic bottled water at our events. 
  • ATTIRE: Dress for the weather and wear closed-toed shoes like sneakers as the shoreline is rocky and uneven in some areas. Hat and sunglasses are also recommended for a hot and sunny day.
  • Download the Clean Swell App to participate in the Citizen Science Data Logging. You will work in teams of 2 people.
