SEPTEMBER
Volunteer for Litter Bugs Me
September 16 - 19
Individuals of local businesses, clubs, village associations, and nonprofits are invited to join us for this weekday event as a Litter Bugs Me Team Up to Clean Up Crew. Groups adopt a spot, roadway, beach, or creek in coastal Marin to clean up after the busy tourist summer season and before the first winter rains.
Volunteer for Coastal Clean-Up Day
Saturday, September 20
Or volunteers can help us for Coastal Cleanup Day, an international event dedicated to clean-ups worldwide. As part of our week-long "Litter Bugs Me" initiative, we host a weekend clean-up in various locations across northern West Marin (Inverness and Point Reyes). This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals to volunteer in our community and make a meaningful impact on the wildlife and habitats within our watershed.
