Genesee Valley Audubon Society International Coastal Cleanup at Braddock Bay

Volunteers Needed for Braddock Bay Beach Cleanup Join GVAS at Braddock Bay for the annual International Coastal Cleanup on Sept. 19 at 9:00 am at Westpoint Marina, 105 E. Manitou Rd. in Greece. We will meet in the public parking loop at the beginning of the Marina. GVAS has picked up over a ton of trash at Braddock Bay over the years and we need your help this year to keep the bay clean. Trash entangles wildlife and plastic bags cover the bottom of the bay, preventing plants from growing. We have now learned that plastic trash that enters the lake can be ground down into small plastic pieces called micro plastics. Micro plastics get into the food chain from the bottom then into the fish and into people who eat them. Help us stop this process. Thank you to the event sponsor, the Helen and Ritter Shumway Foundation. GVAS will have gloves and trash bags available. Register by Thursday, September 17.
