Join New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for a beach clean-up and coastal birding event at Norton Basin Natural Area

Volunteers will remove debris from the coastline to improve the ecosystem and mitigate plastic pollution, while enjoying nature and spotting shorebirds migrating south. This cleanup is being organized to honor Fish and Wildlife Day, at the end of Climate Week.

Attendees are advised to wear close-toed shoes, sunscreen and clothing they don’t mind getting a bit dirty.
