ALBION – The Orleans County Soil & Water Conservation District is seeking volunteers for its annual shoreline cleanup on Sept. 14.
Volunteers will collect and record the litter they pick up at nearby waterways. They will meet at 9 a.m. on Sept. 14 at Bullard Park. After a brief introduction, they will disperse to several predetermined locations throughout the county to begin the collection.
The volunteers will return to Bullard at noon, where the trash will be weighed and the volunteers will be treated to pizza.
All volunteers will be supplied with gloves, trash bags, and data sheets to record litter found for the American Littoral Society.
Any interested individuals can call Soil & Water for more information at (585) 589-5959 ext.5 or email this year’s beach captain, Andrea, at Andrea.Centola@ny.nacdnet.net. Volunteers are asked to RSVP at the number or email listed above.
