WHAT: Come participate in the International Coastal Cleanup at Warwick City Park! This cleanup is hosted by Save The Bay and Wright-Pierce. 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: Meet at the beach parking lot in Warwick City Park. See map for exact location. An approximate address for GPS is 185 Asylum Rd, Warwick, RI, 02886. This will get you to the park entrance – follow the road through the park and follow signs to get to the beach.
