TEAM BUILDING CLEANUPS – An extension of Trash Free Assateague!
Assateague Coastal Trust (ACT) is providing stewardship opportunities and advocating for a clean watershed and healthy coastal ecosystem. Cleanups are an important part of our mission to protect and preserve, not only Assateague Island, but the entire Atlantic Coastal Bays Watershed and the surrounding Lower Shore Region.
Our Trash Free Assateague Program (TFA) mobilizes dozens of volunteers to remove garbage from Assateague State and National Parks as well as our adopted streets in Ocean City, MD. At TFA Cleanups, our coordinator Billy Weiland discusses the mission and presents a brief program including the issues associated with plastic pollution. He uses these events to encourage participants to adopt more sustainable consumer choices. After which, the volunteers comb the waterline, dunes and surrounding area for trash and debris which is weighed and documented.
We could use your help! Consider coordinating a sponsored cleanup with our outreach coordinator, Billy!
Your group (Scout, School, Civic Group, Company, etc.) can sponsor a cleanup on a date and location of your choosing.
Cleanup Locations:
Assateague State Park
Assateague National Park
OC Adopted Streets 19th – 20th and 94th – 97th
Specific Area Request (prior permission may be required by local authority)
Sponsorship Levels:
Level (1) $250 includes Bumper Stickers for all participants (suggested group size max 10)
Level (2) $500 includes Reusable Water Bottles for all participants (suggested group size 11-15)
Level (3) $1000 includes T-Shirts for all participants (suggested group size 16-20)
Assateague Coastal Trust brings all the materials needed to get the job done: bags, gloves, and pickup sticks, hand sanitizer, and water cooler. Volunteers need only dress for the outdoors, wear sturdy shoes, and bring bug and sun protection. Reusable water bottles suggested! There is no minimum age to participate, however we do ask that all children be supervised.
