ICC Save the Bay Clean-up at RWP

Friday, September 18, 10 AM-12 PM
Roger Williams Park Softball Fields

We are partnering with Save the Bay for clean ups in Roger Williams Park to help keep RWP looking its best! Register with Save the Bay here.

WHAT: Join the International Coastal Cleanup with Save The Bay and the Roger Williams Park Conservancy! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are a great way for volunteers to make a difference. We will divide into small teams to pick up trash and record what we find. The data will be included in the Ocean Conservancy’s annual report on marine debris.

WHERE: The softball fields at Roger Williams Park, F C Greene Memorial Blvd, Providence, RI 02905. The softball fields are located past the Temple to Music and the kayak/canoe launch. This is a large park with one-way loops and several entrances – use this link to navigate to the exact spot. Parking is limited: please carpool or use alternative transportation if possible!

PREPARE:

  • The data is what makes ICC special! Download the Clean Swell App so you can be ready to record what your group picks up. Paper data cards will be provided as well.
  • Review our ICC QUICK TIPS document for detailed data collection instructions.
  • Bring your own water – we recommend a reusable bottle!
  • Bring garden or work gloves (disposable gloves available).
  • Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, long pants, and dress for the weather.
  • Plan time to shower and change afterward.
  • Optional: Save resources by bringing your own trash grabber and bucket for collecting trash.

Registration notes:

  • Pre-registration is required.
  • Age requirements: Cleanups are recommended for ages 8+. Ages 16+ may participate independently; Ages 8-15 may participate with a parent or guardian. See youth volunteering for more information.
  • If the cleanup is full, join the waitlist! Spaces often open up.

Need documentation of service hours? We provide confirmation letters upon request! Just ask your cleanup leader at the end of the event.

Any questions or difficulty registering? Contact July Lewis at [email protected]. We want you on our team!
