At Don Horsley Park at Tunitas Creek Beach
Saturday, November 30, 2024 - 9:00am–12:00pm
Get out of the house and Volunteer the Saturday after Thanksgiving
Tunitas Creek a beautiful spread of coastline featuring stunning ocean views and serves as vital habitat for the threatened Western Snowy Plover. If you'd like to get out of the house and away from relatives to help with a beach cleanup event, come join us the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 30.
We will begin with a steep, 1/2-mile walk down a paved road to our restoration site. We will then walk along a sandy beach picking up and bagging trash that may harm our resident Snowy Plovers.
Gloves, buckets, and trash picking 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. Sunscreen, snacks, and hats are also great to have on hand.
Heavy weather, including wind and rain, will cancel this event and we will reach out to participants by email.
No restrooms or potable water will be available.
We recommend that you bring at least one personal water bottle for each member of your group.
Please note, Tunitas Creek Beach and its parking lot are currently closed to the general public behind a locked gate.
Please direct questions and comments for this event to Stuart Smith at sgsmith@smcgov.org.
A reminder email with more detailed instructions on the day's activities and where to meet will also be sent in advance of the event. We look forward to seeing you in the parks!
