As we begin to reflect on the past year, this month brings forth even stronger expressions of gratitude for each and every volunteer who supported us and our programs. You are the heartbeat of our organization. You show up and put on your gloves, offer your time and skills selflessly, and make our coastside community a better place through your […]

Spooky season is here, and the cigarette filters we’re finding during this year’s annual Butt Blitz are frightening! October was jam-packed with our regularly scheduled cleanup and habitat restoration events. We also celebrated Pelican Week from October 20-25 — a fun and educational week with content about our 2025 Earth Honoree that culminated in a film screening of “Pelican Dreams” […]

How much trash did our Earth Heroes collect? Check out these impressive results across all of our sites.

August — or Fogust as we like to call it around here — was a busy month. In addition to our 13 cleanup and habitat restoration events, we also participated in the annual dog surfing championship by offering cleanup support. Throughout the month, many of our dedicated volunteers were treated to majestic humpback whale sightings and eye-opening pelican dives while […]

Summer is here — even though it doesn’t necessarily look or feel like it on the coast.

In addition to our regularly scheduled events, we also supported the City of Pacifica during their post-July […]

In addition, we celebrated Pacifica Pride with a booth at Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School and hosted a special […]

Spring is in full swing! Our May cleanups and habitat restorations brought volunteers from near and far to the coast.

Sharp Park Beach […]

Volunteers stepped up their game in March with some sites nearing or exceeding 100 volunteers. How lucky are we? With newly installed native plants at sites including Linda Mar, Mussel Rock, and Thornton, we’re hopeful the rainy month has helped these plants get established so they can thrive. Check out the results from some of our March 2025 events. Rockaway […]

During this special “month of love,” our naturalist Julie asked volunteers to handwrite love letters to the ocean on paper hearts. Unsurprisingly, the notes were very heartwarming. The shortest month of the year brought us a mix of sun and rain yet lots of smiles as hundreds of volunteers banded together to do good for their community. Check out the […]
