Join us for a beach clean-up! Due to ongoing renovations at Gillson Beach, our exact meeting spot may shift, stay tuned for updates. We typically set up across Overlook Dr from the sand volleyball courts. Head down Harbor Dr, continue onto Overlook Dr, and look for our bright green tablecloth.
Feel free to come early or stay late and please stop by our table at some point between 9 and 11 AM to check in. Bring reusable gloves (not single-use plastic) and a bucket or container, many plastic pieces are tiny and need to be picked up by hand.
Can’t make it? Do a solo beach clean-up anytime and tag #gogreenwilmette on Instagram or Facebook. For more information on why these efforts matter, watch our short video on plastic pollution and its impact on our beaches and lake.
