Join the Watershed Center for a beach clean-up!

Meet us at the volleyball courts and help keep our beaches beautiful.

The Watershed Center is a regional leader in beach, shoreline, streambank, and in-water cleanups that help remove litter from our water. We host public cleanup events, help private groups conduct their own cleanups, and partner with other groups in cleanup activities. Starting in 2021, The Watershed Center has partnered with dozens of organizations across the Great Lakes basin for the Great Lakes CleanUP, a coordinated beach and nearshore cleanup project to protect sensitive habitats and drinking water sources in the Great Lakes. Over the past two years, 400 volunteers have removed 3,060 pounds of trash from our Grand Traverse Bay shoreline and nearshore areas.
