Connecticut Cleanup

We are pleased to participate in the Connecticut Cleanup in partnership with Save the Sound each year.  Each year, our team and our wonderful volunteers give a Sunday morning to clean up one of the most popular beaches in our community.

At first glance, the beach looked clean with very little debris.  Last year, our volunteers scoured the beach for about two hours and collected about 70 pounds of garbage including an amazing over 2500 cigarette butts.

Lots of plastic straws, small pieces of plastic and plastic bottle caps also made up the bulk of the items collected and even though these items are small, they have a huge impact to the health of our shoreline and our marine animals.
