Coastwalk California received recognition from The Press Democrat for their outstanding efforts in organizing Coastal Cleanup Day. The local publication highlighted the organization’s dedication to preserving Sonoma County’s coastline, with a special shout-out to their commitment to engaging the community in environmental stewardship.
“Since 1985, more than 1.6 million volunteers have removed more than 26 million pounds of trash from beaches and inland waterways across the state, according to the California Coastal Commission, which oversees the operation statewide.
Together, volunteers have hauled away everything from dumped appliances and tires to many millions of bottles, cans, bags and cigarette butts.”
Coastal Cleanup Day, set for September 21, mobilizes volunteers across the region to remove trash and debris from local beaches and waterways. Coastwalk California’s role in coordinating this large-scale event ensures that every participant has the tools, guidance, and support needed to make a tangible difference. With growing awareness around environmental issues, The Press Democrat‘s acknowledgment emphasizes the critical work being done by Coastwalk California and other community partners to keep the coast clean and vibrant for future generations.
