Fort Wetherill Cleanup

Sign up for Cleanup Here

WHAT: Come help clean up beautiful Fort Wetherill State Park in Jamestown! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are an easy way for volunteers to make a difference.

WHERE: 3 Fort Wetherill Rd, Jamestown, RI 02835. That will take you to the entrance road; continue on that road and take the second right, leading to the boat ramp area.  SEE MAP for exact meeting site.

WHAT TO WEAR

• Dress for the weather! Remember it is often cooler and windier at the shore.
• Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.
• Closed-toed shoes are required.
• Bring work gloves! We will have disposable gloves as well.

WHAT TO BRING

• A bottle of water (we recommend reusable!) and any snacks you might want.
• 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.
• If you have your own trash grabbers, bring them along!

WHO CAN JOIN
