How adopting works
A year with your stretch
Step 1: Pick from the open stretches
We match you with a half mile that suits your group's size and ages. Creek sites suit teens; bay beaches suit families.
Step 2: Walk it with a site captain
A one-hour training walk covers access, sharps, wildlife and where the dumpster goes.
Step 3: Clean it four times
Once a season, on a Saturday or weekday morning that suits you. We bring the truck.
Step 4: Your name goes on the sign
After the first cleanup, a sign goes up at the access path. After four, you get the season report.

Questions
Before you commit
Is there a fee?
No. Some groups choose to fund their own kits at $18 each, but it isn't required.
What if we can only manage three cleanups?
Tell us. We would rather have three good mornings than four rushed ones.
Can we pick our own dates?
Yes, any morning outside of nesting-season restrictions on the Gulf beaches.
