Stone Harbor Beach Sweep
Saturday, April 26 9am – 12:30pm
Join The Wetlands Institute, Clean Ocean Action, Surfrider Foundation, Borough of Stone Harbor, and Stone Harbor Property Owners Association for a spring beach sweep (or clean-up!) on Saturday, April 26th. If you would like to participate in this volunteer opportunity please meet at Stone Harbor’s 95th Street beach entrance at 9:00am. All volunteers will be provided trash bags, gloves, and datasheets. Volunteers are encouraged to wear weather appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes to the event. No RSVPs required.
Saturday April 26th 10am – 2pm The Wetlands Institute has installed over 4 miles of barrier fencing along Stone Harbor Boulevard to help prevent terrapins from making hazardous road-crossings during spring nesting season. The fencing is most effective when it is securely in place and free of weeds. We are looking for a limited number of volunteers to aid us with barrier fence maintenance on Saturday April 26th at 10am.
Volunteers will meet at The Wetlands Institute, must be 18 years or older and willing to work in conditions along Stone Harbor Blvd. RSVPs may be made on a first come first serve basis to Katie Sellers at: ksellers@wetlandsinstitute.org.
