Since 2009, hundreds of our grassroots volunteers have removed and recycled tons of trash off of Masonboro Island during the annual 4th of July Celebration. In 2013 we launched the Masonboro Island Explorer [ILX] program: an educational, science-based field trip to Masonboro Island for 50 fifth-grade students in New Hanover County. Since then the program has grown to over 2000 students each year from every eligible school in New Hanover county.

OUR SUCCESSES INCLUDE:

  • Independence Day Clean-Up 2010 - 2023

  • annual Spring Benefit from 2013-2023 raised over $100,000

  • Island Explorers Program Launched in 2013. Since then, over 18,000 students have been a part of the program.

  • Coastal Reserve partnership

  • Turtle Monitoring on masonboro island

  • 900+ Volunteers & Members
