Volunteers will work alongside park staff to pick up litter throughout the park, helping protect local wildlife, improve water quality, and keep our natural areas beautiful for everyone to enjoy. Every piece of trash removed makes a positive impact on the health of our environment. This event is a great opportunity for individuals, families, scout groups, and community organizations to give back while spending time outdoors.
Please wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Bringing water, sunscreen, and work gloves is recommended. Trash bags and additional supplies will be provided.

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.
