Event Description
Volusia County's Environmental Management Division will host the International Coastal Cleanup, a community-driven event to preserve and protect the county's beautiful coastline and rivers, at more than 20 sites along the beach, Halifax River, and Indian River from 8 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 16, and they need volunteers.
Last year's event was a massive success, with an impressive 1,562 dedicated Volusia County volunteers rallying together to collect a staggering 8,500 pounds of trash during the cleanup. Organizers hope to surpass that achievement this year and further demonstrate the community's commitment to environmental conservation.
