Clean Beaches in Benzie

Stuff We Love

Aug. 12, 2023

Beaches don’t clean themselves, and we humans sure do a good job at messing them up. In fact, Alliance for the Great Lakes, a multi-state organization which supports Adopt-a-Beach programming, notes 500,000 pounds of litter—equating to roughly nine million pieces of litter picked up by volunteers—have been removed from Great Lakes beaches and shorelines since the program began tracking litter collection data in 2003. So we’re happy to hear Stormcloud Brewing is gearing up to kick off their second year of leading the charge for a county-wide lakeshore cleanup with their “Keep Benzie Beautiful” initiative. The cleanup takes place Aug. 26, with all supplies provided, and will be followed by an afterparty-slash-fundraiser event for the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy.
