At Don Horsley Park at Tunitas Creek Beach
Saturday, November 30, 2024 - 9:00am–12:00pm
Here's your opportunity to enjoy spectacular ocean views while volunteering the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Tunitas Creek Beach is a beautiful spread of coastline that will open as San Mateo County's newest park in early 2025. If you'd like to get out of the house to help with a beach cleanup event, join us the morning of November 30 at 9 a.m.
We will begin with a steep, 1/2-mile walk down a paved road to our work site. We will then walk along a sandy beach picking up and bagging trash that can impact Snowy Plovers.
Gloves, buckets, and trash pick-up tools will be provided. We ask that you wear closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothing you don't mind getting dirty. The work area is exposed and can be quite windy, so be sure to bring plenty of warm clothes. We recommend you bring sunscreen, snacks, and hats.
Heavy weather, including wind and rain, will cancel this event. If this occurs participants will be contacted by email.
No restrooms or potable water will be available.
Construction continues at Tunitas Creek Beach; the park is not open to the public.
