An Impactful New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup, presented by Kennebunk Savings!

We wanted to take a moment to express our deep gratitude to everyone who joined us for the New Hampshire Coastal Cleanup (NHCC)! Your dedication to preserving and protecting our coastlines fills us with hope for a brighter future.

During this year’s NHCC, we hosted three public cleanups and School Cleanup Day. In total, an incredible 125 adults and 222 kids came together to make a positive impact. Together, we collected a remarkable 125 pounds of debris. Your hard work and commitment to our oceans are genuinely inspiring! 

This year, we were fortunate to collaborate with two remarkable organizations, Climate Action NH and Seacoast Science Center, as co-hosts for our cleanups. We also hosted four School Cleanup Day cleanups with Nottingham Elementary School, Little Habour School, Portsmouth High School, and Heronfield Academy. Together, we strengthened our commitment to marine conservation and the well-being of our coastal ecosystems. 

Your enthusiasm and dedication to the cause of ocean conservation make NHCC such a success. We can’t wait to continue this journey with you in the years to come. Together, we are making a lasting impact on our environment, one cleanup at a time! 

Please enjoy our NHCC photo recap!

Our last public cleanup of NHCC was at Foss Beach with Climate Action NH!
There was so much rope lodged in between the rocks.
