A Beach and Litter Clean-Up Volunteer is an individual that wants to honor the Maryland Park Service's Trash Free Parks Policy and keep the park clean and void of trash. Although Maryland State Parks are beautiful, it is a big responsibility to make sure they stay clean and natural. Elk Neck State Park is a peninsula, surrounded by the Elk River and the Chesapeake Bay. Marine debris washes up on the shorelines, causing a hazard for visitors and wildlife. Throughout the year the park works with the local community, organizations, school groups, scouts, businesses and other individuals to schedule clean ups. All you need to bring is yourself. Trash bags, trash grabbers and gloves will be provided. If you are interested please email elkneck.statepark@maryland.gov or email the Volunteer Coordinator at jamese.roberts@maryland.gov
