A Warm Welcome and Orientation: Volunteers will be greeted by our team, who will provide an overview of the day’s activities, safety instructions, and details on the cleanup zones. You’ll also get to meet fellow community members passionate about conservation.

Scenic Views and Wildlife Encounters: Whether on land or in the water, you’ll be immersed in the beautiful surroundings of Don Pedro Island. Volunteers often spot local wildlife like manatees, dolphins, shorebirds, and unique coastal plant life while working.

Equipment and Guidance Provided: We’ll provide all necessary clean-up supplies, including gloves, trash bags, and tools for collecting debris. Water Crew volunteers will also have access to kayaks or paddleboards for navigating the mangrove areas.

Breaks and Refreshments: Stay refreshed with complimentary water and snacks throughout the day. We’ll have designated break areas to keep everyone energized.

A Positive Impact and Team Spirit: Beyond cleaning up, volunteers often find this experience to be uplifting, knowing they’re helping preserve the park’s beauty and supporting local wildlife habitats. Many leave with a sense of accomplishment and a stronger connection to the community.

Photo Opportunities: Capture memorable moments with your crew! We encourage photos to share the experience and inspire others to join future cleanups.
