Clean the Bay Day
Where
Bear Creek Lake State Park, 22 Bear Creek Lake Rd., Cumberland, VA 23040.
Cumberland Multi-Use Trail Parking Area
When
June 7, 2025. 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Help us stop litter at the source. Even Cumberland County is a part of the Chesapeake Day watershed. The cleanup begins when you get a trash bag between 9:00-9:30 a.m. at the parking area. Park staff will help you decide what park trails you want to walk and steward. Please return to the meeting place with your trash by 11 a.m., so we can share the results with regional partners.
Bags will be provided, but you will need to provide your own gloves.
About Clean the Bay Day
Every June, Virginia State Parks participates in the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Clean the Bay Day, an event dedicated to protecting and preserving the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Park visitors are invited to join a clean-up to help remove litter, debris and pollution from rivers, streams and shorelines that feed into the Bay, contributing to the health of the Bay’s ecosystem and ensuring cleaner water and safer habitats for wildlife.
