Celebrate Thanksgiving by spending time outdoors and giving back to the environment. BurlingtonGreen invites you to a Thanksgiving Beach Clean-Up, where community members of all ages can come together to help protect Burlington Beach and learn about the importance of keeping our shoreline healthy. 

Join us for a meaningful morning of environmental action as we remove litter and search for microplastics and nurdles— small plastic pieces that can harm wildlife and make their way into our waterways. Through this hands-on activity, participants will learn how these pollutants impact our environment and how we can all help create cleaner, healthier spaces for nature and our community.

Hosted by: BurlingtonGreen
When: Saturday, October 10th, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Where: Burlington Beach – meet at BG’s Eco-Hub (1094 Lakeshore Road)
