15 self-proclaimed “Bay Huggers” joined TEAM CBES to tackle coastline debris in Oyster, VA as part of the Chesapeake Bay Foundations 27th Annual Clean the Bay Day.
In
two hours, volunteers collected 980 pounds of refuse found in The Nature
Conservancy Living Shoreline project, as well as wild marshes and waters
circling the seaside hamlet, part of the Bay watershed.
Catch
of the day trash, included bottles, cans, cigarette butts, plastic,
undergarments, and waders.
Boots
off to all our stellar volunteers! Some came as far as Wachapreague, several
CBES Board members and our ShoreLine News Journal Designer joined in as did the
chairman of the Northampton County Board of Supervisors.
CBES
Zone Captains Courtney Van Clief and Margaret Van Clief, lead the Clean the Bay
charge, keeping us focused and watered. Extra special thanks to Margaret CBES
Board Member, as well as TNC new Outreach and Education Coordinator, for
connecting CBES with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s project. It was her
coordination and enthusiasm, which helped make 1,500 ft- a quarter mile- of Eastern
Shore coastline cleaner!
THAKS TO ALL THAT DONATED THEIR TIME AND CAME OUT TODAY!!
