Join Plastic Ocean Project for a fun afternoon of cleaning up at Carolina Beach State Park on Saturday, Dec. 13 from 12 - 3 pm. The cleanup event will begin with a short educational program including the history of Lily Pond and Park. Lily Pond was a dumping site for trash from 1920-1960, before the area became a State Park. Although this is not an official Sierra Club Event, we have helped with these cleanups in the past and it has been great fun. We encourage you to join in if you can.

Everyone will meet at the Visitor Center and the group will then walk together to Lily Pond which is about a 20 minute walk. Volunteers are welcome to stay for any duration throughout the 3 hour event. No need to signup, just show up.

Since 2022, POP has helped remove over 9,550 pounds of trash from Carolina Beach State Park, earning 382 trees for Plastic Ocean Project's Trees4Trash initiative. 

It is recommended that you bring work gloves and a small trowel with which to dig.
