SOLV's annual Oregon Spring Beach Cleanups this year was once again a great success, setting new records for volunteers and trash and different sites up and down the Oregon coast.
Over
60,000 lbs of trash was removed from the beaches through the effort of
over
4000 volunteers from across the state. Surfrider Chapters and members throughout the state worked hard to organize over 9 beach captain sites and two regional zones.
Major props to SOLV and of course all the volunteers who attended and pitched in for this great event. The spirit of Oregon itself depends heavily on our people and beaches. This event brings those two things together. The impact is obvious from the stats and it is events and volunteers like these that build the collective life force of positive community in Oregon...I'm moved by you all.
