The combined 2,500 acre preserve includes multiple cleanup sites.The area includes salt marsh, open bay shoreline, prairie wetlands and other coastal habitats.This site can use paddlers who would like to go after waterborne trash or into more remote areas of the preserve. Kayakers and canoers, please call us in advance so we can determine if there is sufficient interest from group paddlers to help with the cleanup. We may designate a site specifically to canoers and kayakers.
