Beach Clean-Up - Sat. Aug. 29
Start the new school year by making a positive impact on our local environment! BurlingtonGreen invites you to our Back to School Beach Clean-Up, where community members of all ages can come together to help protect Burlington Beach while learning about the importance of keeping our shoreline healthy and litter-free. Join us for a morning of environmental action as we search for and remove microplastics and nurdles—tiny plastic pieces that can harm wildlife and enter our waterways. 📅 Saturday, August 29, 2026 🕑 9:30 am - 11:30 am 📍 Burlington Beach - Meet at the BG Eco Hub (1094 Lakeshore Road) Please note that parking must be paid on weekends.
