Join us at Reeves Park Beach, on the end of Park Road in Riverhead 9-11am or Breakwater Beach in Mattituck 1-3pm.
Please bring gloves and a bucket. We will also have gloves and bags available.
We clean the beach because:
Protects wildlife – Animals like turtles, birds, and fish can mistake trash for food or get tangled in it. Cleaning up helps keep them safe.
Keeps water healthy – Trash and chemicals on beaches can wash into the ocean, harming sea life and even people who swim there.
Prevents pollution – Plastics and other waste break down very slowly, so removing them keeps the environment cleaner for a long time.
Helps people enjoy beaches – Clean beaches are more fun, safe, and beautiful for everyone to visit.
Sets a good example – When people see others caring for nature, it encourages them to do the same
