SOLV Beach Cleanups This Saturday!
Did you know that the first ever statewide volunteer beach cleanup in the world happened here in Oregon as an event called the "Plague of Plastics"? That's right, the plastic plague on our beaches is what started this twice a year effort by volunteers across Oregon! We're partnering with SOLV again this year and captaining beaches up and down the coast to help support the annual fall beach cleanup. Please come out to your favorite beach and help with the effort. Pre-register at: http://www.solv.org/volunteers/safety_info.asp for a speedy check-in at the beach! Newport Chapter captaining locations: South Beach State Park, Nye Beach, Agate Beach Wayside, and Beverly Beach State Park; Portland Chpater captaining location: Cannon Beach; Siuslaw Chapter captaining location: South Jetty Florence. Come out and help support clean beaches!
