Did you know:

According to national research by Keep America Beautiful, an estimated 6,700 pieces of litter accumulate per mile of roadway annually, translating to an estimated 13,000 or more pieces of trash on Leland’s streets and waterways each year, much of it concentrated along the Leland River and the Fishtown dock area during the busy tourist season. While there may not be much litter on any given day, this event helps remind us that all our beloved places and waters need to be protected, and we can each play a role in their care.
