Shoreline Clean up

El Día de Limpiar la Bahía está patrocinado por la Fundación de la Bahía de Chesapeake y es un esfuerzo continuo para crear una Bahía de Chesapeake limpia y saludable. Aquí en Mason Neck, Kane's Creek y Belmont Bay se conectan con el río Potomac, un río importante que desemboca en la bahía de Chesapeake.

¡Únase a la comunidad en los esfuerzos de limpieza anuales más grandes del parque para recoger la basura y los escombros que han llegado a nuestra costa!

Los artículos más desechados son las botellas de plástico (450 a 1000 años en descomponerse) y las bolsas de plástico (20 a 1000 años en descomponerse).

Shoreline clean-up begins at 9:30 a.m. with check-in at the Visitor Center. Please wear comfortable clothes and closed-toed shoes. 

We will also have a hands-on non-point-source pollution demonstration. Participants will see how rainwater carries pollutants such as oil, fertilizer, and litter into streams and into the Chesapeake Bay. Help remove trash, learn simple ways to reduce runoff at home, and be part of protecting the health of our bay- one small action at a time. We will have bags, some gloves, and pickers available to borrow. We recommend sturdy shoes, gloves, bug repellent, and water while you are in the park. 

Note we will not have boats in the water this year.

 Registration is not required but recommended at CBF.org.

Acerca de Clean the Bay Day

Each year Virginia State Parks participates in the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Clean the Bay Day, an event dedicated to protecting and preserving the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Park visitors are invited to join a clean-up to help remove litter, debris and pollution from rivers, streams and shorelines that feed into the Bay, contributing to the health of the Bay’s ecosystem and ensuring cleaner water and safer habitats for wildlife.
