Beach Monitoring and Clean-up Walk
Saturday, October 11, 2025 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Hallock State Park Preserve
Start your weekend with a healthy walk along the Hallock State Park Preserve beach with the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society. Along the way, we watch for wildlife and pick up marine debris, so it does not harm local and migrating wildlife. Observations and debris collection are recorded for studies on marine conservation. Along the way, we will discuss current topics in marine conservation. In the Fall and early Winter months, we are especially on the lookout for cold stunned sea turtles that are in need of rescue and rehabilitation. Walking the beach is a great way to get exercise, fresh air, and reduce stress, while supporting local conservation efforts. As it is a Park volunteer activity, there is no charge and the seasonal parking fee is waived for registered participants. For more information, call the Park Office (631) 315-5475, or visit the AMCS website: www.amseas.org.
