Cleaning up
the beaches
Every year in
September, volunteers come to Sherwood Island State Park to
take part in the annual International
Coastal Cleanup (ICC), an effort that
depends on thousands of volunteers
worldwide.
The ICC
is sponsored by The
Ocean Conservancy. In organizing the
cleanup and data collection at Sherwood
Island, the Friends work with Save the
Sound, the Connecticut
coordinator.
Every year since 2002 there has been
a large contingent from the Ridgefield chapter of
the National Charity League.
NCL is a non-profit
organization of mothers and
daughters who join together in community
involvement within local chapters throughout
the United States. Its goal is to foster a
sense of community responsibility in the
girls as well as to strengthen the
mother-daughter relationship.
