Visitor Center

When

June 3, 2023. 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Clean the Bay Day is sponsored by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and is an ongoing effort towards creating a clean and healthy Chesapeake Bay.

Here at Mason Neck, we have Belmont Bay, which is directly linked to the Chesapeake Bay via the Potomac River. Embark on an adventure with us and help clean the trash and debris that have made their way to our shoreline. Most commonly discarded items are plastic bottles (450 to 1000 years to decompose) and plastic bags (20 to 1000 years to decompose).

Shoreline Clean Up begin at 9 am. Please wear comfortable clothes and closed toed shoes. You will likely get a little wet. Rain boots are encouraged.
