Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

Start your Saturday morning with a walk at Hallock State Park Preserve's Long Island Sound beach while you support marine conservation and learn about local sea life.

Scientists and volunteers from the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society lead our weekly beach walk.  Along the way, we pick up marine debris and discuss current local issues of marine biology. 

You can learn how to collect relevant data and how to support marine conservation on your own.

Participants of all ages are welcome.

We meet at the Visitor Center, just off Sound Avenue, and then drive to the upper parking lot for a walk of about 1.5 miles.

We provide trash pickers and buckets. Please bring you own gloves.

Participants in this beach clean-up program will receive a free parking pass for their vehicles.

Pre-registration is not necessary but suggested so that we may notify you if an event is cancelled due to severe weather.

Email education@amseas.org to register.

Plants, including trees, shrubs, autumn wildflowers and grasses, will be observed and identified. Roundtrip walk about 1.5 miles.
