Yes! Creeks to Coast Cleanup is a great volunteer opportunity for groups. We kindly ask that you make sure each person registers in your group so we can plan for enough cleanup supplies. We may put you in contact with the Cleanup Site Captain for coordination.
-
Cleanup supplies will be provided. However, ECOSLO is encouraging volunteers to BYO - Bring Your Own reusable gloves, bags or buckets, and reusable water bottles & low-waste to reduce waste to help decrease the plastic footprint of the cleanup.
-
Wear closed toed shoes - for creek and park cleanup locations you may want to consider boots and ones that are waterproof. Dress in comfortable clothing and clothes you don't mind getting dirty. It's a good idea to dress in or bring layers!
We also encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle, wear sunscreen, and other sun protection like hats or sunglasses.
-
Of course! It is required that you bring your forms and have your Cleanup Site Captain sign them after the cleanup so you can get your community service hours. ECOSLO and our partner organizations DO NOT provide community service forms.
-
Registration is not required, but highly recommended. It allows us to get an accurate headcount!
