As the National Park Service continues to celebrate its centennial, Cape Hatteras National Seashore will host two beach cleanups.
The public is invited to participate on Ocracoke from 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday, July 28, meeting in the lifeguard beach parking lot.
The Park Service asks that helpers bring leather gloves, water, snacks and sunscreen, and to wear appropriate clothing, including closed-toe shoes and hats. Trash bags will be provided. Children under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian with them.
Another cleanup is planned on Hatteras Island from 9 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 17, at the old Cape Hatteras lighthouse site parking lot.
