Saturday, April 13 was a beautiful day with the sun shining, blue skies, light ocean breeze and more than 179 volunteers converging on Hunting Island State Park for the Earth Day Beach Sweep. Tires, bags and bags of trash, boat parts and other debris was collected from the park, beach and surrounding areas.
