Earth Day Cleanup at Kent Narrows Fishing Pier

Description

WHEN DETAILS: All cleanups will be held on Saturday mornings. Sign in at 8 am and cleanups starting no later than 8:30 am. They will run until noon, unless we finish early. You may come and stay as long or short as you wish...no pressure:)

AGE AND PARTICIPATION WAIVER: All ages welcome! But if you are under 18 years of age and plan on attending alone or with friends, you will NEED to have your parent or guardian sign our "participation waiver" prior to your arrival. You can print our participation waiver from our website. *All volunteers must sign a participation waiver for each cleanup.*

SUPPLIES: We will provide all of our volunteers with cleanup supplies (gloves, buckets, trash bags, few pickers, etc) and a light snack. We will NO LONGER offer bottled water as this goes against our beliefs of consuming and using less single-use plastic. Please bring a reusable water bottle and we will have water available for you to refill your bottle.

Located between the East end of Kent Island, by the Chester River, and Grasonville, MD. It is approximately 2.6 square miles, of which 1.0 square miles is land and 1.6 square miles is water. This area is a hotbed for tourists and locals alike as there are over 8 restaurants/bars, 2 hotels, and other attractions. There are two bridges that span across the water where the Chester River on the North meets with the Wells Cove to the South. Rt. 50 is the larger of the two bridges while The Watermen's Memorial Bridge, Rt. 18 (Main Street), is the smaller bridge. The Cross Island Trail overlaps Rt.18 on the smaller bridge, and spans from Terrapin Beach Park to Kent Narrows.
