Each year, volunteers around the world show they care about their coasts by flocking to the beaches to clean up and document the trash they find. The Audubon Society of Rhode Island is proud to coordinate cleanup efforts for the Ocean State. If you would like to volunteer, please contact one of the local cleanup leaders listed below. For general questions, contact July Lewis at 401-949-5454 x3044 or [email protected]. This is a rain-or-shine event, but may be postponed in the event of a severe storm. Cleanups that especially need help are in red and marked “**”.
