Community members looking to enjoy a morning at the beach while helping nature and the local landscape are invited to join Explore Ecology’s monthly beach cleanup, 10 a.m.-noon, Sunday, Oct. 13 at Santa Barbara’s Arroyo Burro Beach (Hendry’s Beach).

Participants should bring reusable gloves and a bucket; or materials will be provided.

During the cleanup, volunteers can stop by the Watershed Resource Center to learn how to keep local creeks and beaches healthy and beautiful.

All volunteers receive a coupon for a cup of free clam chowder from the SB Shellfish Co.
