Another Successful Cleanup!

/ Jason Major / Leave a comment

SG_SignThirty-four volunteers collected about 300 pounds of trash at the August 10 shoreline cleanup sponsored by Save the Bay. Most of the participants were from Warwick or Providence but one group came from as far away as Gloucester, MA! The gorgeous weather and beautiful views enticed many participants to concentrate their efforts on the breakwater and causeway. They did a great job in removing masses of fishline, glass bottles, aluminum cans, and plastic from hiding places among the boulders. For those of you who missed this cleanup—not to worry. There are plenty more future cleanups!

Watch for the signup for the International Coastal Cleanup of Salter Grove on Saturday, September 16th, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. here.

Help clean up Warwick’s shorelines this summer! Each week Save The Bay and the Town of Warwick will be at a different shoreline cleaning up and having fun in the sun. The Cleanups will happen every Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 starting June 8th and going through August 24th. Volunteers are going to be working on Rocky Point, Salter Grove (that’s us!), Conimicut Point, and Oakland Beach, on a rotating schedule.

The first cleanup date at Salter Grove will be June 15. We need volunteers so please sign up on the Save the Bay site here!

On Saturday, April 23, Save the Bay hosted a Shoreline Cleanup at Salter Grove in honor of Earth Day. During that time over 30 volunteers gathered to pick up trash and litter from both the waterfront and inner areas of the Grove and also to learn a little more about FoSG and what we are working to accomplish at the park. In just a span of under two hours nearly 700 pounds of trash were collected and bagged—fantastic job everyone!
