Chippokes State Park is proud to partner with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for Clean the Bay Day! Now is the time to mark your calendar. You can help us with this important initiative by participating in our Clean the Bay Day - Beach Clean Up.

Since the kick off of the very first organized Clean the Bay Day event in 1989, this Virginia tradition has engaged more than 165,500 volunteers who have removed approximately 7.18 million pounds of debris from more than 8,250 miles of shoreline. Virginia's water ways and their health directly influence us, our communities, our wildlife, etc.

Answer the call to volunteer and help keep our shorelines clean and safe for others to enjoy.

Meet at the Visitor Center for instructions and supplies (gloves, available trash grabbers, trash bags. etc.). A Ranger will be out on the beach leading our efforts. Be sure to collect as much trash as you can...there may be a prize for the biggest bag!

Volunteers, father and daughter, collect as much trash as they can along the shorelines of Chippokes.
