California State Parks is joining communities and organizations throughout California to participate in the 17th Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day Saturday, September 15.
"We invite everyone to join us in this outstanding cleanup event,” said State Parks Director Rusty Areias. “We're particularly proud of our volunteers who return year after year to help clean up our parks and beaches."
Once again, State Parks is participating with other agencies and corporate sponsors in this statewide program to demonstrate that environmental stewardship is everyone's responsibility.
To emphasize the importance of community involvement in tackling the state's litter problem, all Californians are invited to organize and participate in cleanup campaigns in their communities. Many of the activities are in conjunction with the California Coastal Commission's Adopt-A-Beach/Coastal Cleanup campaign.
To participate, volunteers are asked to contact parks and beaches in their community or call the statewide coordinator of the event, the California Coastal Commission, at (800) COAST-4U or www.coastal.ca.gov.
Here are some of the cleanup events at participating California State Parks:
