Join us for the KEY Coalition/Gillson Park Beach Clean Up! We will meet at Gate #3 at South Beach, across from the volleyball/picnic area. Head down Harbor Dr, continue onto Overlook Dr, and look for our bright green tablecloth. Feel free to arrive early or stay late; just stop by our table anytime between 9 and 11 AM to check in. Please bring reusable gloves (no single-use plastics) and a bucket or container, as many plastic pieces are small and need to be collected by hand. If you can’t make it, consider doing a solo beach clean-up and tagging #gogreenwilmette on Instagram or Facebook. To understand the importance of these efforts, watch our short video on plastic pollution and its impact on our beaches and lake.
