2020 Washington Coast Cleanup

Celebrate Earth Day by Cleaning A Beach!

This year marks the 50th anniversary for Earth Day. How about celebrating by getting out and cleaning a beach!

Every year volunteers clean Washington beaches from Cape Disappointment to Cape Flattery and up to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. By volunteering and cleaning the beaches you can be part of the solution to the problem that is marine debris and demonstrate support for environmental protection.

This event is great for individuals, families or groups. You can get out and enjoy nature while making a difference to this beautiful state.

This year’s Washington coast cleanup will be held on Saturday, April 25th. Registration opens up in late February but you can go to the site now to see all the areas volunteers will be cleaning.
