Wildlife Jewels’ New Year Sweep & Learn for Wildlife — Corona del Mar

Kick off the year by protecting California’s coastal wildlife—while learning about local seabirds, including iconic California Brown Pelicans and the inspiring story of a resilient resident California Gull.

You’re invited to join Wildlife Jewels® on Sunday, January 18 (2:00–4:00 PM) for our New Year “Sweep & Learn for Wildlife” community beach cleanup at Corona del Mar State Beach.

Together, we’ll remove marine debris and share stories of the incredible wildlife we’ve had the privilege of observing at CDM—including California Brown Pelicans and a local California Gull we’ve been monitoring for over a year due to an entangled foot.

You’ll learn:

• How everyday litter impacts coastal wildlife
• Common threats facing pelicans, gulls, and other marine life
• Simple, practical steps you can take year-round to help wildlife thrive
• Insights from of field observations of unique wildlife who reside at Corona del Mar State Beach

What to bring: a reusable bucket or bag, gloves, and a great attitude (we’ll bring extra supplies when available).

We can’t wait to see you at Corona del Mar State Beach!
