Coastal Cleanup Volunteers help keep our shorelines clean by removing debris that washes into the park’s marshes and beaches with the tides. Volunteers also document the types of trash collected—data that is shared with the Ocean Conservancy to support global efforts in understanding and combating plastic pollution.

Volunteers of all ages are welcome; under 16’s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No volunteer orientation or experience is required, but note that this activity may involve climbing up and down rocks. 

Advance registration is required and spaces are limited. 

To register: 

• New volunteers, please complete this form
• Registered volunteers, please log-in to your volunteer profile to schedule yourself

If you’re signing up as a family, please email volunteer@brooklynbridgepark.org 

Full details, including location of the activity, will be emailed to registered volunteers a few days prior to the event.

Note: If you’re not seeing any dates available when trying to sign up for a Coastal Cleanup opportunity, it’s because either all the spots have been filled or the event has not yet opened for sign-ups. Keep an eye out for communications from us regarding upcoming opportunities and updates! For any questions, contact us on volunteer@brooklynbridgepark.org.
