Invest In Our Planet

Every April 22nd, stakeholders of all backgrounds come together to advance sustainability and climate action in commemoration of Earth Day.

Our world needs transformation. It’s time for the people of the world to hold governments and the private sector accountable for their role in our environmental crisis while also calling for bold, creative, and innovative solutions. This will require action at all levels, from business and investment to city and national government.

In Orleans, Earth Day Clean-up has for many years been run by the Friends of Rock Harbor to specifically spruce up the Rock Harbor area. This year the Orleans Pond Coalition joined the Friends of Rock Harbor and many other Orleans organizations and businesses like the Orleans Conservation Trust, the Federated Church of Orleans, and Del Mar Vacations and expanded that clean-up to all the beaches and landings in Orleans. We wish to thank everyone involved in making this event a success.

This year we organized and cleaned-up the following Orleans beaches and landings:

– Town Cove (by the Yacht Club)
– Rock Harbor
– Skaket Beach
– River Road Landing
– Mill Pond Landing
– Barley Neck Landing
– Baker’s Pond
– Cedar Pond
– Priscilla Point
– Nauset Beach
– Kent’s Point
– Crystal Lake
– Pilgrim Lake
– Pahwah Landing
– Pahwah Point
– Rt28/Tar Kiln Beach
– Bike Path along Namskaket

We look forward to making this Earth Day Clean-Up an annual event in the future.
