The 4th of July is a time to celebrate our beautiful state, but unfortunately it also tends to generate a lot of garbage – firecrackers, cans, plates, plastic utensils, bottles, and more, and a lot of it gets left on the beach. Join us on July 5th in Newport, Oregon to help clean up the beaches before the tides sweep all the garbage into the ocean.
