NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — The red shirt volunteers of Masonboro.org are seeking volunteers for their annual July 4 clean-up of the island just off the coast of Wrightsville Beach.
Masonboro Island is a hot spot for Independence Day celebrations and Masonboro.org has taken to the island to clean up after the party-goers for more than a decade. In 2020, the group collected a record-low amount of trash.
The group is prepping for the 2021 clean-up and looking for volunteers to “protect public access, promote responsible use, and preserve the tradition.”
There are two shifts that remain open, the midday shift 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm and the late shift 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm, the biggest need being the late shift. Additionally, a volunteer cookout and pregame planning will be held on June 24 at 6:00 pm.
