SUMMARY:Carter Nature Preserve Beach Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:The Shaw Institute and Blue Hill Heritage Trust invite you to j
 oin them Saturday\, September 15 for their 3rd Annual Beach Cleanup Day at
  Carter Nature Preserve on the Cross Road in Surry. Be a part of the Ocean
  Conservancy’s Global Trash Free Seas day\, and Maine Coastal Cleanup Da
 y\, by helping to clean this beautiful property which is under conservatio
 n with BHHT. Carter Nature Preserve is a public wildlife sanctuary that of
 fers several hiking trails\, as well as providing water access along its e
 xpansive shoreline to Morgan Bay.\n\nParticipants should arrive at the par
 king area closest to the bridge at 9:00am. We will assign volunteers speci
 fic areas and pass out necessary materials. We are looking for volunteers 
 to work in groups to coordinate with data recorders from the Shaw Institut
 e and BHHT . All data from the cleanup will be shared with the Ocean Conse
 rvancy’s International Coastal CleanUp Program. Participants will receiv
 e coupons for Pugnuts Ice Cream Shop as a special reward for a job well do
 ne. There will also be prizes awarded for the biggest\, the smallest\, and
  the weirdest finds.\n\nThis is the 3rd annual beach cleanup collaboration
  between the two Blue Hill based organizations. Every September\, the Shaw
  Institute participates in this worldwide event that draws attention to th
 e terrible plight of our oceans and in particular the impact of plastic po
 llution. The infamous North Pacific and North Atlantic Gyres claim a lot o
 f attention but equally disturbing are the trillions of tiny plastic piece
 s found in all the oceans and washed up or dumped onto our own shoreline. 
 In 2017\, volunteers retrieved 1\,457 pieces of trash across just 1 mile o
 f coastline. 94% of the trash was plastic debris. Of the plastic collected
 \, most was unidentifiable\, but 21% was from known single use plastic ite
 ms like candy wrappers and shopping bags\n\nThis is a family friendly even
 t and there are several lovely tidepools on the beach for younger particip
 ants to explore. We will provide garbage bags and have a water re-fill and
  first aid station. Please bring water bottles\, wear durable work gloves\
 , sunscreen and sturdy shoes.\n\nFor further information or to sign up to 
 participate\, please contact Chrissy Allen at Blue Hill Heritage Trust (ch
 rissy@bluehillheritagetrust.org 374-5118) or Madelyn Woods (mwoods@shawins
