Can you find what doesn't belong? Join Oregon State Parks and Washed Ashore at the Bandon City Park's gazebo on Saturday, March 22nd, 2014 from 10 AM - 1 PM to see what you can find that doesn't belong on our beautiful ocean beaches.  Please bring clothing appropriate for the weather, a reusable water bottle and an old colander to sift the small plastics and such out of the sand.  SOLVE and its partners will provide gloves and bags. Washed Ashore and Oregon State Parks will pass out supplies, assist with filling out paperwork and haul away all the items you bring back that don't  belong on our beaches. Washed Ashore will be taking the debris to use in their next sculptures. You can help by keeping glass, sanitary and other non-usable items in a separate bag from most plastics if possible. Please remember our ocean shores can be dangerous. Please do not climb on logs that have any water around them and never turn your back on the ocean.
