You can help us with this important initiative by participating in our Clean the Bay Day - Beach Clean Up. Virginia's water ways and their health directly influence us, our communities, our wildlife, etc.

Answer the call to volunteer and help keep our shorelines clean and safe for others to enjoy.

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.
