Litter Bugs Me
Join Us To Help Our Watersheds & Wildlife
West Marin receives over 2 million visitors a year and is a gateway community to national and state parks, open spaces, agricultural lands, and a thriving residential community. Throughout the year, our roadsides, creeks, and beaches accumulate trash that ends up in the watershed and eventually right into our creeks and ocean.
To combat this problem, we host roadside and beach clean-ups. We organize week-long roadside clean-ups in the Spring and Fall and hold beach clean-ups year-round. These efforts support clean water, healthy habitats, and safer wildlife corridors in coastal and riparian areas while also engaging the community in protecting West Marin. Learn how to get involved, register, or sponsor the event below.
Our efforts are joined by Cleaner California Coast— a tri-county collaboration between Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Leave No Trace to reduce coastal pollution.
