Thank you to the bottle cap brigade – AKA all the volunteers who came out for our cleanup with @savethebayri on Friday! As part of the International Coastal Cleanup initiative, we counted every piece of trash collected, including hundreds of bottle caps!

Thanks to @pvdparks for supporting the cleanup, and for keeping the park beautiful every day!

Stay tuned for details on the next cleanup as we head into fall.

Thank you to @ocean_state_ellary for hosting Monday evening gentle yoga sessions these past couple of months, and to everyone who joined us on the lawn outside the Betsey Williams Cottage! As the evenings get cooler, we`re ending the season a little early, so we won`t be gathering next Monday, September 21. Enjoy the start of autumn! 🍂
