Cleaned litter at Owens Beach and had a great time!

We met up today at Point Defiance Park to make our beautiful local park a better place.  With the help of grabbers and bags provided by Tacoma Metro Parks Chip-in! program, CBG marched strong up and down the beach and walkways at Owens Beach cleaning trash. We collected about 25 lbs of trash, a few pairs of underwear...., socks and plenty of cigarette butts. Most of the trash was thrown along the walkway, the beach was pretty clean of litter. We met a fellow sound cleaner, who was using a metal detector. At first we thought he was looking for treasure but after I tried to throw away his water bottle he'd left, we were able to chat about our activities. He was collecting batteries from the beach, he said he'd removed a TON from Alki Beach in Seattle. We met some cool people, saw some cute puppies and picked up some stinky litter!

Thanks everyone who helped out. Special thanks to awesome Denise for donating hotdogs and chips and goodies for everyone to enjoy after the clean up event!

Hiked Chambers Creek Park near University Place took Great Pics!

Awesome tree in Chambers Creek Park.

 Clean Beach Group able to take some Great pics in chambers creek park along the creek. There is evidence of illegal dumping everywhere along the water, Clean Beach Group hopes to help get some of this waste out of the area. Hiking along the water, there sure was some very beautiful areas. Accessible near Fred Meyer off Bridgeport and 67th, just around the corner there is a public access area.

Bottom right, a bend in the creek has allowed for a collecting area of debris. I noticed an excess of litter floating, I hope we can get this place cleaned up!
Bottom left, I noticed a nice looking "waterfall" a log had fallen over the water flows over and looks prettty cool over a short drop. If you look closely, you can see a black line that is a littered TIRE top center of the frame. I counted over 10 tires in plain view while hiking down Chambers Creek.

The LONG AWAITED 1st ever CBG beach clean up is Tomorrow @ Titlow Beach. 12pm :)

We'd love to see your smiling face even just to say hello. We'll be scouring the beach/park area for around an hour or so, grabbing all the litter we see.
We'll have fresh fruit & water if anyone needs refreshments. Tomorrows forecast calls for a high temp of only 66 degrees, so bring a jacket just in case!
CBG now has a web page, helping share our progress and inform about future events. Please check out our blog at: Cleanbeachgroup.org
