Earth Day Shoreline Cleanup | City of Berkeley
Join us in celebrating the earth and spend some time cleaning the litter off our shorelines.Plastic pollution is a huge problem on our shorelines. Plastic does not biodegrade, instead it breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces which end up being mistaken as food by wildlife. This event is part of an ongoing effort to keep the Berkeley Waterfront shorelines litter free and attractive for all wildlife and visitors.Ages: All Ages (Youth under the age of 15 must be with an adult at all times)
