Earth Month Cleanups

Join Save the Sound for Earth Month cleanups in Connecticut and New York! Beach and park cleanups are a great way to engage in your community and leave our watershed better than you found it.

Help remove trash from our coastline and parks while contributing valuable data to support pollution reduction laws. We’ll be using the Clean Swell app—download it for iOS or Android.
