VFFs 2026 Give Back Day
Register via internal spreadsheet with Kristen Garabedian….
Join a group of your colleagues for a fun and educational shoreline cleanup hosted by VolunteerCleanup.org This is an opportunity to give back to our community and aligns with our commitment to caring for the environment we share. We’ll work to protect our marine ecosystem by removing plastic debris and collecting valuable citizen science data that supports ongoing conservation efforts. We’ll have prizes for the most unusual item found during the cleanup
VolunteerCleaunp.org will provide all of the supplies needed 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.
- WAIVERS: Volunteers must check-in and sign waivers before you start. Pre-signing the online waiver will help expedite check-in! https://forms.gle/1Xx8yk2Ro59avBySA
