Join  Flag Ponds Nature Park staff and help with the end-of-season deep clean-up of trash and debris found along the beach and ponds. Voluteers ages 16 and up will gather as a team and form a line to collect trash that has collected in the all the hard to reach areas of the beach. Volunteers can expect to walk up to 2 miles, including some uneven, wet and difficult to traverse terrain.

All volunteers should dress for the weather, wear long sleeves and pants to protect against scratchy brush and insects and wear shoes that can get wet. Bring a water bottle and consider sun protection and insect repellent. 

 Work gloves and clean up supplies will be provided.

Who Are the Calvert Stewards?

The Calvert Stewards volunteer program provides an opportunity for public service in education, research, and stewardship which support the overall missions of the Calvert County Division of Natural Resources and the Calvert Nature Society. This benefits the participants, the parks and the community as Calvert Stewards use and develop their skills to form an environmentally aware community and become the environmental stewards of Calvert County.

We also encourage youth and families to volunteer for projects to create a pipeline of engaged citizens that will continue their involvement in the parks into adulthood.
