3 To Do: Coastal Cleanup at Tigertail Beach, more

1. Coastal Cleanup at Tigertail Beach, throughout Collier

From 8 a.m. until noon, Saturday, Sept. 15, Friends of Tigertail in conjunction with Collier County's “Keep Collier Beautiful” is taking part in the International Coastal Clean-up to remove debris from beaches worldwide.

Southwest Florida beaches have suffered in recent months. Tigertail has been spared the worst of red tide devastation, but trash still builds up, spoiling the beauty of the park.

Bags, gloves, and water will be provided, though we encourage bringing your own reusable bags or buckets and water bottles to cut down on waste.

There will be Keep Collier Beautiful T-shirts for participants, as well as certificates of appreciation and community volunteer hours for school children.

Bring the family, wear shoes that can get wet, as well as a hat for sun protection. Meet at the kiosk at Tigertail Beach.
