Clean the Bay Day - River Edge Cleanup

Location of James River State Park in Virginia

Where

James River State Park, 104 Green Hill Dr., Gladstone, VA 24553.
Green Hill Pond

When

June 1, 2024. 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Clean the Bay Day is one of the nation's largest single-day volunteer activity. It celebrates the connection between people and nature. Taking care of our environment shouldn't be a day event. We will show you some simple things you can do at home everyday while we go along the James River to clean up debris. We might get lucky and see some wildlife along the way while we walk down to the river. One person can make a difference and if everyone pitches in, we can make the world a little cleaner for everyone to enjoy!
