Clean Ups with Explore Ecology
Channel Champions Beach and Community Cleanups
“We had a remarkable time at the beach with Explore Ecology! Our team members enjoyed the cleanup, the presentation, and especially being outside together, making a difference!”
Meaningful time in nature builds company morale, increases connections between team members, and leads to happier, healthier, and more engaged employees.
Our Beach and Neighborhood Cleanups offer rewarding hands on opportunities. Each cleanup include a short presentation from an Explore Ecology educator about ocean and watershed preservation and protection, ample time on the beach for the cleanup, and a tallying up of trash found, so employees can feel proud about the impact that they made!
Cleanups are available year round.
