Surfrider MA is finalizing details for a group cleanup along the Lynn Shores Reservation, with a possible add-on excursion to King’s Beach in Swampscott to make sure we check off 2 more towns for Connecting our Coastline.
We’ll be starting a bit earlier than usual at 9:30AM to make sure the cleanup aligns with low tide.
If you are interested in participating, please pre-register on Eventbrite. The exact meeting location and a waiver will be sent electronically to all registered participants.
Please bring your own reusable work gloves for this cleanup! We’ll still provide sanitized buckets and tools for trash collection, as well as gear for data collection and plenty of hand sanitizer!
Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, please carefully consider the risks of attending. Stay home if you or someone you are in close contact with is in a high-risk group, has recently had any symptoms, or suspects recently being exposed. There are many ways to protect the ocean from home, so please feel free to reach out if you’d like any ideas!
