PORT ANGELES — A meeting is scheduled to discuss a Port Angeles area beach and stream trash cleanup during this year’s Earth Day.
The meeting will be held in the second-floor meeting room at The Landing mall, 115 E. Railroad Ave., at noon Wednesday.
“Bring your ideas and a brown bag lunch — let’s talk about what we should do,” said Paul Cronauer, owner of The Landing.
Cronauer envisions a cleanup on Saturday, April 23, covering all the Port Angeles Harbor beaches, from Hollywood Beach to Ediz Hook, and from Morse Creek to Dry Creek.
“I’d like to see more of us involved in saving our beaches and creeks from household plastics, lost fishing gear and other kinds of trash that poison our wildlife and spoil the environment,” he said.
For more information, come to the meeting or contact Cronauer at 360-457-4407.
Earth Day this year will be celebrated on two days, Friday and Saturday, April 22-23, and is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment.
Founded by U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in, Earth Day was first held April 22, 1970.
