Each adopting group is responsible for safely cleaning a minimum of five (5) shoreline miles and participating in at least two (2) shoreline cleanup events.
Once a section of shoreline is adopted, the adopting group is responsible for organizing its volunteers, obtaining the necessary boats or equipment to complete the cleanup, and delivering the trash collected to the assigned dumpster location. We have found that with careful consideration of a dumpster site and a little planning, most cleanups are completed in about 4 hours.

Once you locate an area on the zone map below, complete the Membership Agreement (PDF) and mail it to the Shoreline Management address below. We can then begin the process of preparing you for your first shoreline cleanup. Contact us or call 573.365.9206 with questions or to become a volunteer.
