Trash Cleanup Announcement
Come join us to celebrate International Coastal Cleanup day a little early!
Date: August 8th
Time: 9am-1pm
Location: Long Wharf Preserve
Time slots: 9-10, 10-11, 11-12, 12-1 (20 person limit per time slot)
Fill out this Google Form to help us gauge interest for a socially distanced clean-up event at Long Wharf Preserve! A knot-tying workshop and scavenger hunt will also be available!
At Schooner Camp, part of learning how to be an environmental steward is to leave no trace and to be kind to yourself, others, and the environment. Now it's time for us to give back! Here is your opportunity to gather in small groups with your family to help us care for Schooner Camp's home and keep it beautiful for both people and animals to use. Gather Corps will be helping to lead this event!
This event is still in the works, but we would like to gauge your interest in it -- date and time may change, if needed. Please fill out the interest form so we can get a better idea of how many people are interested and if more time slots are needed.
We would like to offer a socially-distanced knot-tying workshop and Long Wharf scavenger hunt while the clean-up is happening.
Bags and gloves would be provided, and we also will have about a dozen trash pickers that will be sanitized each time they are used. Masks will be required at this event. Sign up for an hour, but stay after or before to do the scavenger hunt and knot-tying workshop.
This event will also collect trash data using the CleanSwell app which is mentioned later in this email and in this week's activity guide. We will hand out paper versions for you to fill out during this event and turn in, and we will do the rest!
