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 been a problem. Much of the trash, such as discarded fishing line and plastics, are hazards to area wildlife. come out around 9:30 a.m. to help clean up the beach and prevent this human waste from affecting our wild habitat.

Houston Audubon is hosting a beach clean-up at Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary and is asking for your help to prepare it for migrating and winter resident shorebirds. These clean-ups provide a great opportunity to witness the wildlife of Bolivar, the activity on the ship channel, and experience hands-on conservation by keeping beaches clean.
The Audubon will provide gloves, bags, water, and light snacks. Beach parking permits are not required during clean-ups. All ages are welcome. Meet the Audubon at the vehicular barrier located on the beach approximately 3/4 mile west of Rettilon Rd. in Port Bolivar.

Keep Pearland Beautiful, in partnership with Shadow Creek Outdoors Club, will be hosting the 4th Annual Pearland Clean & Green event on April 6, 2019 at the Pearland Town Center (11200 Broadway St., Pearland, TX 77584). Clean and Green began in 2016 as a community ‘call to action’ for Shadow Creek Ranch residents to clean up litter and learn about ‘green’ initiatives, centered around the 3 R’s (reduce, reuse, and recycle). As one of the largest Master Planned Communities in this region, residents of Shadow Creek Ranch take pride in keeping a clean community. The event has expanded over the years to draw in residents from across the area. The event will begin with a litter cleanup from 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. The community will gather at the Pearland Town Center Pavilion from 9:30 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. for activities, entertainment and educational displays. The event is free to the public.
