Be a Superhero for Planet Earth! 2020 Fall Great Islands Clean-up September 28 – October 4

We’re asking Superheroes of all ages to unite and help us clean-up our islands during this year’s Fall Great Islands Clean-up! The event will be a week-long household/individual effort beginning September 28 and running through October 4, 2020. This is an opportunity for our community to get outside, get some exercise, and help make our islands plastic and litter-free by the sea.

In keeping with San Juan County’s Phase 2 guidelines, masks will be required, participants should practice social distancing, and there will be no congregating.

Contact your island’s organizer for more information and sign up for clean-up locations on beaches and roads. San Juan Island: Beaches, Katie Fleming at [email protected] & Roads, Aaron Rock at [email protected]; Orcas Island: Pete Moe at [email protected]; Shaw Island: Jennifer Woodbridge at [email protected]; Lopez Island: Roads, Nikyta Palmisani at [email protected] & Beaches, James Skeet Townley at [email protected].

 Visit www.plasticfreesalishsea.org/events to register and for more information about the events on all the islands.

Now more than ever Friends of the San Juans needs our support. Learn about the Friends, educate yourself, and you will inevitably want to be a Friend because that is who we turn to when we need support to protect this place.
