Join United by Blue on our Cleanup Road Trip to SoCal, where we’ve partnered with 4 local REI stores to the clean the waterways around Los Angeles!
REI Tustin and the Newport Bay Conservancy will join us for our first cleanup of the Newport Bay! The Newport Bay and surrounding wetlands make up Southern California’s largest natural remaining estuaries, providing a rich and diverse ecosystem for birds, fish and other mammals. It is home to over 30,000 bird species during winter months, as migrating northern birds head south. In addition, to bird-watching, Newport Bay visitors and locals enjoy hiking, biking, and kayaking through the estuary. Unfortunately, litter disrupts the environment, washing up on shore, and endangering the wildlife. It often originates in inland communities, and gets carried down the coast through storm drains, piling up on the the beaches and wetlands, and making its way to the Pacific. Please join us for this cleanup of Newport Bay, and help us preserve this natural world for generations to come.
United by Blue will provide water, snacks, and cleanup supplies to all participants. Volunteers will each receive an exclusive “Cleanup Crew” trucker hat, and also have the chance to win prizes during two cleanup games!
Please wear sturdy shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or wet!
