On the fourth Saturday of every month, volunteers can assist the Matheson Hammock staff and beautify this coastal park to keep our ocean ecosystem healthy. *From October to December, this cleanup may change to a different weekend to account for holidays. Please review the schedule below prior to registering.
This opportunity is made possible with the support of BLUE Missions. BLUE Missions is ensuring sustainable access to clean water and sanitation while cultivating a generation of global citizens through reflection, education and service-driven travel.
Responsibilities and Duties:
– Removing microplastics and trash
– Pulling exotic plant species
– Additional tasks as needed
Qualifications: Youth under 15 must have a parent/guardian present.
Commitment Expected: Please arrive at your scheduled start time and check-in with park staff. Please bring a refillable water bottle, closed-toed shoes, and protection from the sun (sunscreen, hats, sunglasses). If you have your own gloves or reusable buckets, we recommend bringing them.
