Join Newport Chapter this
Thursday, July 5th at South Beach State Park from 6:00-8:00pm for a post Fourth of July beach cleanup. There's sure to be a good bit to cleanup after all the picknicking and celebration of the holiday and Newport Chapter wants to make sure we keep it clean. Join
Joe and Jes Haxel as they lead the way in our efforts to keep South Beach as clean and beautiful as possible. Bring a beverage and some snacks to throw on the grill if you like. The cleanup is part of a broader chapter effort for a
Parks in Partnership Program. The local Surfriders will be "keeping watch" on South Beach, doing beach and trail cleanups, working to eliminate invasive species, installing dog waste bag dispensers and testing water quality monthly. The program was initiated by Joe Haxel, local Newport resident, surfer, fisherman, scientists and overall waterman extraordinaire. Way to go Joe!
