Woah.\n\n\n\nWith thousands upon thousands of visitors to Platte River and Platte Point each summer\, many of whom indulge in on the water fiesta\, the plastic pollution amidst the park is in desperate need of attention!\n\n\n\nThat’s why we need your help! Let’s work together to help protect our beautiful freshwater ecosystem!\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n \n\nAs the main artery amidst the lakeshore\, Platte River is home to a beautiful\, fragile\n ecosystem – inhabited by various fish species\, birds\, turtles\, and mammals. Plastic pollution is a threat to that vital ecosystem. Every item that winds up amidst that beautiful River is bound for the big lake and beyond.\n\n\n\nLet’s tackle the Point and stop the stream of rubbish before it enters Lake Michigan and scattered all about.\n\n\n\nSee you Saturday\, April 27th for an inspiring morning of action in the Park.\n\n\n\n  \nWHAT TO KNOW:\n\nOur goal is to cleanup the lakeshore while having fun!\nEveryone & anyone is welcome!\nAll cleanup materials will be provided.\nAll trash we collect will be weighed\, counted and categorized with the help of volunteers for Great Lakes plastic pollution research & advocacy efforts.\n\nWHAT TO BRING:\n\nA SBD National Park Pass or bring a couple bucks for Lake Township to park at Platte Point Beach\nA buddy! Anything is always so much more swell with a friend in tow!\nA reusable water bottle so you can stay hydrated with provided water refills without the single-use plastic!\n\nDO NOT BRING:\n\nPets!\n\nWe love our fluffy friends soooo much\, but pets will NOT be allowed as the Piping Plovers are back for the summer at Platte River Point! Please keep your dog friends at home for this event!\n\n\n\nWHERE TO MEET:\n\nThe end of Lake Michigan Road\, at the Platte River Beach Parking Lot on the right hand side.\n\nArrive by 10:00am to hear from Hannah of The Cleanup Club!\n\nThe Cleanup Club is a Michigan based 501c3 nonprofit founded by environmental activist & artist\, Hannah Tizedes\, dedicated to protecting our communities & Great Lakes from plastic pollution while having fun through cleanups & creativity!
