Celebrate Orca Recovery Day with The Salish Sea School while helping clean up a remote beach on Cypress Island! We'll spend the morning removing debris from South Beach and then enjoy a short hike along the beautiful trails of Cypress Island. RSVPS Required Ages: All ages welcome! Please Bring: Weather appropriate layers, sturdy shoes (rubber boots recommended), lunch, snacks, water, backpack, garden gloves (we will also have some for you to borrow) Special Accessibility Note: The slope of the shore at South Beach means that the water taxi cannot fully dock onto the beach and participants may be asked to disembark via a small plank ramp and/or walk through shallow water for a few steps to get ashore. There is also no bathroom available on the island. Contact Kyra at community@thesalishseaschool.org if you have any questions about the accessibility of this event. Suggested Donation: To help cover the cost of the water taxi, suggested donation size is $25. This event is FREE for all to attend. We want everyone to have the ability to experience the wonder of the sea. If you would like to help support this event and other marine education programs, please include a donation amount of your choosing in the section below. All gifts are deeply appreciated!
