Adopt-a-beach with SOLVE
SOLVE volunteers cleaning the beach at
Cape Blanco
SOLVE, in partnership with Oregon
State Parks, has launched a new Oregon
Adopt-A-Beach program on the coast to
support ongoing beach cleanups through-
out the year. SOLVE currently seeks vol-
unteers to adopt their favorite stretch of
beach and serve as its caretaker.
SOLVE support includes free cleanup
supplies, a leader handbook, ongoing proj-
ect guidance, and disposal assistance.
All participants will receive a certifi -
cate of adoption and recognition on the
SOLVE website. The statewide nonprofi t
organization brings people together to
improve the environment and build a leg-
acy of stewardship.
