Each fall we partner with Alliance for the Great Lakes to hold the Seven Bridges beach cleanup. Alliance for the Great Lakes collects data from cleanups around the Great Lakes to assess the extent of pollution from various types of trash collected by volunteers. This data supports their mission to advocate for protections to keep our waters clean.
