Sugar Island Clean-up

MUCC's On the Water program is partnering with the Bay Mills Indian Community for an On The Water clean-up event this July. On Saturday, July 17, we will meet at 8:30 in the morning at the Sugar Island Ferry Mainland Dock, located right near Clyde's Drive-in at 1425 Riverside Dr, Sault Ste Marie, MI 49783.  

Following introductions and a description of the workday, volunteers will be boarding the Sugar Island Ferry to proceed to the worksites located on the island on Bay Mills Indian Community Trust land. MUCC will be paying for the first 14 cars round trip ticket on the ferry. MUCC will also provide work gloves, buckets, trash bags, sunscreen, bug spray, trash grabbers and waders on a first-come, first-serve basis. A free lunch will be provided to all volunteers who register beforehand., There will also be a refillable water station, so please remember to bring your own reusable water bottle.
