Shoreline Cleanup at Hoop Pole Creek
January 27 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Help us protect coastal wildlife and habitats at Hope Pole Creek Nature Trail. Volunteers will help to remove trash and debris items. This entire event will take place
outdoors, so please dress accordingly. Closed-toed shoes are required, and sturdy shoes for walking in wet areas are also recommended. Boots are appropriate if you choose to walk along the water’s edge. Trash bags, gloves, and other cleanup materials will be provided.
Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
This project is part of the Federation’s overall effort to ensure the North Carolina coast is free of marine debris. Establishing an annual paid program for marine debris removal – including crab pots – is a key objective of the N.C. Marine Debris Action Plan, and will take place this winter. We hope you can join us! If you plan to attend, please register so we can plan supplies accordingly.
