Join us every third Saturday of the month to help clean the litter off our shorelines.

Plastic pollution is a huge problem on our shorelines. Plastic does not biodegrade, instead it breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces which end up being mistaken as food by wildlife. Join us and spend some time volunteering to keep our Estuary clean and beautiful!

Meet at Shorebird Park Nature Center. Receive a service-learning presentation and safety talk on the impact of trash and plastics in our oceans and waterways, and how we can help. Supplies will be handed out along with a map of cleaning locations. Clean for as long as you want and bring the trash back to the Nature Center before you leave. Trash will be weighed and sorted.

Third Saturday Cleanups have been an ongoing effort at the Berkeley Waterfront to keep our shorelines litter free and attractive for all wildlife and visitors.
