 Volunteers wanted to help us clean up Peterson Road beach, one of our favorite Benzie beaches! in working with the Alliance for the Great Lakes, we'll use their program for collecting and recording the trash for the regional database.
Last year, Adopt-a-Beach volunteers picked up over 36,000 lbs. of litter from their local beaches. More than 85% of it was plastic. Tackling litter and plastic pollution in the Great Lakes is no small task, but together we can make a difference. September Adopt-a-Beach is part of the International Coastal Cleanup, so you’ll be joining millions of people caring for their local shorelines all over the world. Please register by contacting the District: 231-882-4391. See you on the beach!
