Clean the Bay Day

by Sharon Smith, Clean the Bay Day Coordinator, Chesapeake Bay Foundation

Come join the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for three hours in June to make your local waterway cleaner and healthier.

Clean the Bay Day is Saturday, June 6, from 9 am to noon.* And we need YOU! *Details vary by location; confirm information on our website: http://www.cbf.org/clean

The Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and streams needs volunteers to pick up litter around shorelines and waterways. Last year, with the help of our organizing partners, 7,000 volunteers removed 120 tons of debris from 434 miles of shoreline throughout the state!

We challenge and invite you to become part of the solution, join this powerful effort, and show that an unhealthy Bay is unacceptable!

By boat or on foot, gather your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and groups for a fun day and a worthwhile way to Save the Bay.

Dozens of sites are available. Please sign up today for Clean the Bay Day (no later than June 3) to be assigned a cleanup site near your neighborhood. There are three easy ways to register:
  1. Visit http://www.cbf.org/clean
  2. Call 800-SAVEBAY
  3. Email ctbd@cbf.org
