Organizers say that volunteers will keep track of every piece of litter they pick up which then gets combined with data from cleanups all over the world this fall for statistical purposes. This will help us all understand where the litter in the oceans come from and what it's made up of.
The Hommocks Conservation Area is located just off Boston Post Road, by Walgreen’s in Larchmont. Parking for the Hommocks Conservation Area is across from 510 Hommocks Road.
