What To Bring:
You can bring you own refillable water bottles, work gloves, hats/ sunscreen, tick repellant, we’ll supply water, snacks, bags/ buckets, trash grabbers etc. Wear boots or old shoes that may get wet, long sleeve shirts, long pants.

This is historically one of the largest volunteer events in the state with tons of trash cleaned up from our beaches, creeks and waterways. The area along the Hamilton Wetlands Restoration Bay Shoreline has never been cleaned up, so here’s your opportunity to make a big difference. Thanks to the CA State Coastal Conservancy and Marin County for supporting the cleanup efforts.

If you are not up for the actual hiking/ trash collection, we can also use help with sorting and inventory of trash collected for recycling at our collection points. Everyone is welcome!
