Netarts/Oceanside Earth Day Cleanup

Celebrate Earth Month on Sunday, April 26th with the Friends of Netarts Bay Watershed, Estuary, Beach, and Sea (WEBS) by joining us in a beach cleanup from Cape Lookout State Park to Cape Meares and Bayocean Spit. 

Winter brings an influx of marine debris, with storms washing up harmful trash that poses a threat to wildlife and our unique coastal ecosystems. Springtime offers the perfect opportunity to unite as a community and restore our beaches. WEBS has been hosting cleanups for decades with SOLVE, an environmental non-profit that supports volunteer-led environmental stewardship throughout Oregon. “Clean up the beach with friends or family, or expand your community by teaming up with fellow volunteers. Volunteers of all ages will find the beach cleanup fun, educational, and rewarding,” shares Marina Dreeben, WEBS Stewardship Coordinator. 

We will meet at 4pm to clean up while the tide is low and wrap up our work as the sun starts setting at 6pm. Thanks to the amazing crew at The Schooner Restaurant and Lounge, all volunteers will receive a coupon for 10% off dinner on the evening of the cleanup, so be sure to stick around for a delicious, locally-sourced meal while you enjoy the sunset after an afternoon of hard work.

As you head out to clean up or just explore, it is important to remember that ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water, keep your distance from marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material, please alert a staff member.
