Want something different and fun to do? Break out the sunscreen, that old hat and some closed-toed shoes and join Keep Pinellas Beautiful in partnership with Tampa Bay Watch for the Annual Mid-Summer Coastal Cleanup.
Volunteers can and do make a difference. Cleanups can be fun, educational and a wonderful opportunity for family to do something together.
The Annual Mid-Summer Coastal Cleanup will be held on July 8, starting at 8:30 a.m. Volunteers will meet at the entrance to Fort DeSoto Boat Ramp.
In addition to the land cleanup, there will be a water-based cleanup. Volunteers for the water-based portion of the cleanup must have their own canoe or kayak and life preservers for each occupant.
For additional information on the land-based cleanup contact Martha Garcia at (727) 867-8166; Tamp Bay Watch, e-mail: aackman@tampabaywatch.org; or for the water-based cleanup, contact Keep Pinellas Beautiful (727) 533-0402, e-mail stoplitter@tampabay.rr.com
