Visit the Siuslaw News online at Annual SOLVE beach, river cleanup is Sept. 24 Join friends, neighbors and thousands of Oregonians from across the state on Saturday, Sept. 24, for the annual SOLVE Beach Riverside Cleanup, presented by the Oregon Lottery. SOLVE invites volunteers of all ages to help remove invasive plants, restore natural areas and clean up hundreds of miles of beaches, rivers, parks and neighborhoods before fall rains wash litter and debris into storm drains and out to sea. SOLVE and presenting sponsor, the Oregon Lottery, is joining more than 5,000 Oregonians who will mobilize across the state for the 33rd annual Beach Riverside Cleanup. This event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup and National Public Lands Day. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (times may vary by site). Volunteers can find choose from more than 100 projects, including 46 beach cleanups coastwide, at solveoregon.org or by calling 503-844-9571 ext. 332. From the headwaters of the Willamette River to the Oregon coast, Oregon’s water- ways and natural areas are facing serious threats from diminishing wildlife habitat, invasive plants and litter that flows down- stream into rivers and out to the ocean. Join fellow Oregonians in supporting the health of their state by cleaning up litter from source to sea. “A common thread that binds nearly all Oregonians together is how much we all take pride in our state,” said Oregon Lottery Acting Director Barry Pack. “And one of the things we can all be proud of is how SOLVE and thousands of Oregonians have been help- ing make Oregon a special place for 47 years.” As a long-time supporter of SOLVE and events like SOLVE’s Beach Riverside Cleanup, Pack said the Oregon Lottery encourages everyone to find a SOLVE event in their area and continue the great work that SOLVE has been doing for decades. The Beach Riverside Cleanup is made possible by: Presenting Sponsor the Oregon Lottery; Legacy Sponsor: Metro; Major Sponsors: Clean Water Services, Fred Meyer, Pacific Power and Wells Fargo; Coordinating Sponsors: Local Coast Haulers and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department; Media Sponsors: K103FM and KOIN 6; Supporting Sponsors: Chevron and Skanska; Community Sponsor: NW Natural.
