Sierra Club Work Day: North Jetty Beach Clean Up

Title: Sierra Club Work Day: North Jetty Beach Clean Up
Location: North Jetty Beach, Bolicar Penninsula

Description: The Houston Group has adopted this stretch of beach as part
of the Texas “Adopt-A-Beach Program”. The North Jetty is a popular
fishing, crabbing, and birding spot on the Bolivar Peninsula just south
of the Audubon Society’s Bolivar Flats Sanctuary. Because this site
is heavily used, trash and litter have become a problem. Much of
the trash, such as discarded fishing line and plastics, are hazards
to area wildlife.
From Galveston we will take the ferry to Bolivar, watching for
birds and dolphins on the way. After the clean up, those interested
can visit the Bolivar Flats Audubon Sanctuary or Anahuac NWR
depending on the route back to Houston. We plan to return to Houston
by late afternoon.
We may have a rendezvous point for those wishing to carpool
from central Houston. For meet up times and complete details, contact
Frank Blake, frankblake@juno.com or 713-528-2896.
