Join MITA staff and volunteers for one of our full day island clean-up events. Each clean-up starts at 9 a.m. and ends around 3 p.m. and targets islands in a particular region. This is a great chance to get out on the water and volunteer. At the end of the day, seeing the piles of trash and debris we collect will make it a very rewarding experience!

Spring 2012 Clean-up dates:

Friday, May 4 - Fort Foster, Kittery
Saturday, June 2- Casco Bay

Saturday, June 9- Muscongus Bay

Saturday, June 16- Stonington

Saturday, June 23- Downeast

Contact Maria by email or 207-761-8225 for more information or to sign up.

Comment by Joel on June 2, 2009 at 8:07am: I'll be on my way out of town for work this Sunday. Bummer

Comment by Shea Gunther on May 31, 2009 at 4:56pm: It's raining pretty hard outside. I'm calling this one Postponed. Same bat-time next week?

Comment by Darryl Seamans on May 17, 2009 at 10:05pm: Great idea starting this group. We could do a riverside clean-up sometime afterwards -- plenty of garbage collects under overpasses or where people camp and fish. The Saco River is supposed to be famous for accumulating trash in the summertime.
