Patagonia – Shoreline Cleanup for Bottle Bill at Canton Waterfront Park – Paddle Pal from Fells Point – Sat. morning 9-12.
October 12 @ 09:00 - 13:00
Join our team with Blue Water Baltimore for a shoreline cleanup in Canton Waterfront Park!
Participants will do their part for a cleaner Baltimore and Chesapeake Bay by pulling trash and litter directly out of the Patapsco River. The Patapsco River serves an important function as one of the main tributaries to the Harbor of Baltimore, as well as being the central landmark to the first state park in Maryland, Patapsco Valley State Park. We will be partnering with local organizations, communities, and individuals to clean up litter in the park and the water itself.
Volunteer options: We are striving to have a big impact on this park so we will be offering two ways to clean up. We will have shoreline land volunteers OR in-water volunteers. We will provide in-water cleanup supplies, if you provide your own boat. There will be gloves and trash-grabbers available for use, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.
Afterward, we will host a small gathering to celebrate and connect with each other! Chat with our nonprofits to learn more about what we can do to keep our waterways and green spaces clean.
Water, snacks, and light refreshments included.
