CAPE COD CANAL CLEAN UP

On the last Saturday of September (typically Public Lands Day), the Salties partner with the Army Corps of Engineers to pick up litter along the Cape Cod Canal. The day starts with coffee and donuts, then organizing cleanup teams and walking along the canal to pick up trash, and ends with a great cookout lunch. It’s a great day to give back to the Cape’s marine ecosystem and be thanked by fellow fishers, walkers, runners, and bikers.

Please RSVP for the 37th Annual Salties Canal Cleanup day on Saturday, September 26th ( 9 am to 1 pm) at the link below:

HERRING RUN CLEAN-UP

The Salties have taken on the special project of maintaining the Yarmouth herring run between Swan Pond and Long Pond. This run is often filled with fallen branches, trees, and other debris. Each spring, Salties volunteers take on the task of maintaining this historic run to encourage the return of river herring to Long Pond.

Members will need either waders or hip boots, an iron or clam rake, bush cutters, and gloves. In addition, one or two chainsaws are usually required. Many hands make light work.
