Thank you to the 64 volunteers who showed up this morning at Bastendorff beach to cleanup after the July 4th illegal firework activities!

We picked up 73-5 gallon buckets and 5-55 gallon drums worth of trash. We ended up filling a 6 cubic yard dumpster.

This is by far our biggest annual beach cleanup of the year!

We got our metal garbage barrels out early today at Bastendorff beach to reduce the amount of garbage and fireworks debris left out on the beach.

We will see you all tomorrow morning for our Annual July 5th beach cleanup at 10am!

Happy Fourth of July!

Mark your calendars for a SALT (Surfers Awareness in Lifesaving Techniques) training on Sunday April 26th from 10am - 2pm in Charleston, OR! Participation is limited to 20 people, with only 4 spots left!

👉 Sign up here: https://x.gldn.io/e/ihS6ahuIF1b

Hosted in collaboration with Curry County Aquatic Safety, the SALT training program teaches basic lifesaving awareness and hazard recognition to the local surfing community. SALT provides practical skill building for surfers in lifesaving techniques, it is not a certification.

The training will start at 10am with a classroom presentation (Charleston Fire Department, Training Room), then move to the beach where participants will practice lifesaving techniques on the beach and in the water (Sunset Bay State Park, North End Beach Parking). Techniques are designed for surfers and include the use of a surfboard.

Participants should bring:
- Wetsuit (and booties/gloves if you use them)
- Surfboard
- Notebook (for classroom portion)
- Packed lunch
