NOTE: This Cleanup is almost full! We have closed it to team registration, in order to preserve those few remaining spots for any individuals who wish to participate. Teams wishing to participate in a cleanup should review our other, upcoming events.
WHAT: Come participate in the International Coastal Cleanup at India Point Park! This cleanup is being hosted by Save The Bay and Friends of India Point Park. Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are an easy way for volunteers to make a difference. We will pick up trash and record what we find on data sheets. The resulting data will be included in the Ocean Conservancy's annual report on marine debris.
WHERE: 263 India St, Providence, RI, 02903. Meet next to the park's parking lot, which is just by the intersection of India and Gano streets.

- Bring work gloves if you have them! We will have disposable gloves as well.
WHAT TO BRING

- Our waiver, completed and signed: Volunteer Waiver Release Form. Completing this form in advance saves time during check in, but we will also have plenty of copies there if you have trouble printing. IF UNDER 18 parent or guardian MUST sign waiver.
