SUMMARY:Siuslaw Estuary Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day in the beautiful Siuslaw River estuary as we remove garbage to keep our river clean and healthy. \nSpring is in the air\, and trash is in the estuary! Join the Siuslaw Watershed Council and McKenzie River Trust for the third annual Siuslaw Estuary Cleanup. \nSpring is an ideal time to take to the water and remove debris from estuary islands and low-lying wetlands\, pushed up on the downriver side by the winter’s tides. Keeping these important ecosystems trash-free is critical not only for their wellbeing\, but also for the wellbeing of neighboring communities who depend on all the ocean and river estuary have to offer. Thank you to CTR for the donation of a roll-off dumpster for the event! \nThis year we are excited to partner with artist Elizabeth Roberts. As part of our cleanup we will be separating suitable plastics for use in her art. Elizabeth’s work can be found on her Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/marinedebris911/ \nArtists Statement:\n“As a passionate advocate for clean oceans and coastal stewardship\, I spend much of my free time hiking and exploring Oregon’s beautiful coastline and watersheds. Over the years I have participated in large scale marine debris removal projects and research expeditions in both the Gulf of Alaska and the Gulf of Maine. As an artist\, I use marine debris to create art that inspires awareness about plastic pollution and how single use plastic and our consumer choices are impacting our oceans fragile ecosystems.” \nRegistration required: to register please visit: https://tinyurl.com/35r6fpfa
