Before heading out, consider the weather and prepare appropriately. Also be advised an ORK staff member will not be in attendance. This clean-up project will be “at your own risk.”
Interested volunteers should visit the map for possible spots to adopt then contact Melanie Sparrow, education and outreach coordinator.
