CREW Boston's Sustainability Committee will be celebrating Earth Day with a volunteering opportunity at Moakley Park's Carson Beach, the largest stretch of beach in South Boston.
Join CREW Boston, Boston Harbor Now, the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, and Boston Cares at DCR Carson Beach to give back to our community and enjoy the beauty of the city's biggest waterfront park!
The event will run rain or shine, however may be canceled due to severe weather conditions. Family & friends are welcomed to join you.
What is provided: All necessary tools, including gloves, pickers, bags, and safety instructions + breakfast.
What to expect: A volunteer session is 2 hours long, beginning at 9:30am and will require picking up litter and natural debris. We’ll give you everything you need to keep you safe. Just bring a positive attitude as you help make a difference in this City of Boston Park.
What to bring: Make sure you wear work clothes and close-toed shoes (that you don't mind getting wet or dirty). If you have gardening or work gloves, feel free to bring them. Depending on the weather, you may want to bring a hat, sunscreen, raincoat, or jacket. Don't forget a water bottle! There is a nearby filling station if you need to replenish.
Directions: Please meet in the park near the picnic tables by the basketball courts near Saunders Stadium (see image below).
9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
