A little maintenance for one of our favorite places.
50 members from the Women’s Outdoor Club will meet in the Short Sands parking lot for warm beverages before taking the 20-minute trail through the forest to the beach. We’ve planned our cleanup a little after low tide, when more of the shoreline is exposed and we can reach debris before the water moves back in.
We’ll spend about an hour working along the shoreline, collecting debris and microplastics before they have a chance to re-enter the water. Plastics that accumulate along the coast don’t stay there—they break down into smaller pieces, move through marine ecosystems, and can eventually be ingested by marine life. It’s a small action with a direct impact, and a chance to leave a place we love better than we found it.
After the cleanup, we’ll settle in for a BYO picnic and rock painting. Find a rock along the way; Landdd will have paints and brushes waiting for you. We’ll stay on the beach as the high tide returns around 2:45 PM—eating, painting, exploring tidepools, and spending the afternoon by the water together. We will return to the lot at 3pm, or at your own speed. Debris can be hauled out from here or placed in the recying/trash cans at the lot.
amika will be gifting the group with hair essentials, including a new launch!
