Point Grenville

What you can help with at this location:

General Beach Cleanup
Collect trash and marine debris on foot and place in provided bags. Load trash bags into a pickup truck that will drive along beach for collection. No special skills are required. Participants must be able to bend repeatedly and pick up and carry items of varying weight and size. For a better idea of what's involved, see our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Volunteer Welcome and Check-in Station
A few people are needed to help with set-up and to greet and register volunteers as they arrive. This will include ensuring that volunteer paperwork is properly filled out, providing volunteers with trash bags and other supplies, and providing instructions and safety information. Also includes acting as a liaison between the Quinault event coordinator(s) and the event volunteers. This is a great way to help if you don't want to walk far or carry out full garbage bags.
