Join our Organized Beach Cleanups and Habitat Restoration

The annual ‘citywide day of action’ is part of our field education programs, and has grown to become popular and is family-friendly. Earth Day of Action is part of a few in the Bay Area dedicated to inspiring, uniting, educating and building community to remove litter and restore native landscape along the San Mateo County coast.

Every year, thousands of volunteers of all ages gear up with gloves and buckets to join the hands-on action at organized sites from Daly City to Half Moon Bay, on beaches and along highways and streets from highways to the coastline.
