Volunteers for a beach clean-up event on Saturday, Sept. 17, are being sought by the Alliance for the Great Lakes.
The organization's annual September Adopt-a-Beach cleanup event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon that day at Grand Haven State Park and North Beach Park in Ferrysburg.
Since 1991, nearly 70,000 volunteers have effectively removed more than 164 tons of debris from Great Lakes shorelines during this annual event.
Beach sweeps are scheduled to happen Sept. 17 in four states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
