The North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher's hosting a virtual trash clean up and you can join us no matter where you live! While we usually host a beach sweep each year, we are looking forward to having families join us to pick up trash from all over. Whether at the beach, the park, or your neighborhood, families can help our aquatic habitats and the animals that live in them by joining us for this year's Party for the Planet. The first 50 families to register will receive complimentary trash pick up supplies. Once you have completed your pick up and sent in follow up information, you can then receive a sustainable prize for your great work!

This program is free but pre-registration is required. 

Program Time: Any time you want!

Program Date: Starting on Earth Day, April 22nd and ending on Endangered Species Day, May 21st. 

Location: Beach, neighborhood, park, trails - wherever you'd like!
