Join the final Clean Up Cowells effort of the year and enjoy live music, coffee, pastry and a raffle after tidying up the beach.
Save Our Shores writes this about the Clean Up Cowells program: Clean Up Cowells was formed in May of 2014 by one of Save Our Shores’ Sanctuary Stewards, Haley Mander. A Santa Cruz local and Dream Inn employee, Mander was disheartened by the large amount of waste left behind by beachgoers. And so, she decided to do something about it.
"Every Sunday from 9-11 a.m., Mander and fellow community members meet at Cowell Beach to prevent waste from entering the Monterey Bay. Since the first Clean Up Cowells event on May 4, Mander and volunteers have removed 1,405 pounds of waste from the beach.
"lLooking back, I never thought we would have collected this much trash or had such strong support by the community!' said Mander. 'This clean up has done more than clean up pollution—it's given confidence and motivation for many to also create positive change.'"
Works for us.
The next Clean Up Cowells event will be Feb. 1, 2015, and happen every Sunday.
Cowells Beach, Santa Cruz. 9am-1pm. Free. Guests receive one raffle ticket for ever $5 donated to Clean Up Cowells events.
