All year long, we receive stories of gratitude from people who join in our mission to end litter and become better stewards of the coast.

Here’s what some of our amazing volunteers and educators are saying.

“Thank you so much for the devoted work you do in the community to preserve our ocean and protect the coastal wildlife and habitat that we cherish. We have loved partnering with you over the years by doing beach cleanups and habitat restorations.”

– National Charity League Coastside

“We had such a good time with you on Sunday and really appreciated all the time you spent with us and all the knowledge you shared. I did a hike on Milagra ridge yesterday and my friend was impressed with all the new plant names I had learned from you!”

– Ruth Rosenthal

“On behalf of Serendipity School, I would like to thank you and Greg for the most amazing assembly and presentation. We want to make sure we hire you every year to do our Earth Day assembly. It was absolutely amazing and my entire school loved it.”

– Educator, Serendipity School

“My team and I had such a great time, and we are incredibly grateful to be able to give back to the community we reside in. Through this event, we learned that prevention of pollution is key to environmental health, and cigarette butts are recyclable — so cool! Thank you once again for all the work your team does. We look forward further sustainable practices and education with our team to build a better tomorrow!”

– Sydnee Collamer, CHANEL

“Thanks so much for facilitating a fantastic beach cleanup at Linda Mar! Our students were very engaged and reflective because of your leadership.”

– Cristina Veresan, The Nueva School

“Our group has gotten so much out of participating in these activities with PBC the past few years. We learn so much about conservation efforts and how we can each have an impact in our daily lives. And we truly appreciate what the Pacific Beach Coalition does to protect our amazing coast in San Mateo County. We look forward to the next cleanup!”
