Point Reyes Nat'l Seashore Has a Protector

This is Hanna Morris, a Maine-native who has traveled to see many of the world’s oceans and now manages the Hostelling International (HI) Point Reyes Hostel near Limantour. During the past eleven years there, she has walked, done yoga, surfed and swam at Point Reyes National Seashore. Her daughter Ocean (in the background) often joins her in family beach cleanups whenever they head down to the shore. (The family has amassed quite a buoy collection from those washed-up on shore, which make for great fence decoration according to her!) Cleaning the beach has always been a no-brainer for Hanna, often bringing a bag to stow found trash with her when she goes down to Limantour or any other beach. When she heard about our Beach Clean Up Stations (BCUS) she jumped at the chance for the hostel to host one. HI Point Reyes Hostel has hosted its BCUS for five years now, where it also holds periodic cleanups open to guests. She hopes to host larger cleanups in the future that will involve the public more. “Many hands make light work,” after all!
