Join our 2nd Saturday Cleanups throughout the year at various parks and sites in the Coos Bay and North Bend area.

Our Mission

WE NEED YOU
- Join our Board!

We also have openings on our planning committee and can always use a hand with sign-ins. Contact us for details.

We have projects for every comfort level. These projects are also family friendly as we try to create multiple projects so everyone can come to help. Volunteers are welcome to help with light duties such sign-ins, taking photos, small litter pickup, painting, and invasive plant removal. We also have projects that require a lot of muscle and effort like weed-eating, brush trimming, and areas of large trash accumulations. Come for just a few minutes to the full two hours - many hands make light work!
