Preserve Our Park Coalition partnered with Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park to host a beach cleanup June 1, just south of Herring Point.
The cleanup celebrated National Trails Day, and the first 120 volunteers received an event T-shirt.
After the cleanup, a barbecue lunch was provided by the Village Improvement Association.
