Manhattan Beach Cleanup in Rockaway

The Salmonberry Trail and Tillamook County Wellness will be supporting Oregon State Parks and the City of Rockaway Beach to remove litter at Manhattan Beach State Recreation Site! This is part of SOLVE's series for International Coastal Cleanup Day and World Rivers Day. Not as popular as the beach in Rockaway, we are excited to give this lesser known coastal gem some TLC.
We will convene at the parking lot (near the restrooms) at 10AM on Sunday, Septeber 27th. Once everyone has a safety briefing and gets supplies, we will begin the litter cleanup in parking areas and along the beach. Our end point will be South Nehalem River Jetty at Rockaway Beach.
