Clean up the creeks this spring

Posted

With the weather warming, spring cleanup events will be taking place in vital areas of the community.

Save the Great South Bay’s Creek Defenders will be hosting cleanups on the following dates:

  • Sunday, April 7, Blue Point
  • Saturday, April 13, Bayport
  • Saturday May 4, Sayville
  • Saturday, May 18, Oakdale

There are some 50 creeks leading into the Great South Bay between Massapequa and Mastic Beach.

“Our annual community creek cleanups are very important to help keep these arteries open and fresh water flowing. Recent storms have washed a plethora of plastics and other debris into the creeks through stormwater drains, which all lead directly to the bay,” said president of SGSB, Robin Silvestri.
