Coastal Cleanup
Celebrate Emeryville's special shoreline with us on California's annual statewide Coastal Cleanup Day! Spend time outside, make new friends, meet new neighbors, and enjoy provided refreshments! Cleanup tools (trash grabbers, gloves, and buckets) will be provided. No need to RSVP, just show up! Everyone is welcome.
In addition to picking up trash, volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about Emeryville's sea level rise adaptation efforts and the unique flora and fauna of the Emeryville Crescent.
Don't forget to bring your own reusable water bottle or cup, and wear sturdy closed-toe shoes and sun protection.
