Project: North Padre Island National Seashore Cleanup
Project #31/50
State: Texas
Description: This project was funded by the Quadratec 50 for 50 Initiative. Together with Tread Lightly!, Quadratec has committed to fund a project to improve off-road trails and public lands in each state over 24 months.
On Sept 28-Oct 1, 2023, 28 volunteers from Calvary Overland camped and cleaned 15 miles of the hard-to-reach portions of North Padre Island National Seashore in Texas. This area requires a well-equipped 4×4 vehicle so as not to get stuck in some of the more challenging portions of the North Padre Island Beach. This project, as part of the Quadratec 50 for 50 grant support, provided funding to help clean this difficult to reach beach area. The 20-vehicle team of 28 volunteers removed 125 bags of trash along with construction materials, 55-gallon drums and other large items. In total, 3,125 pounds of trash were removed.
