Surfrider Foundation
Galveston Chapter

Clean Galveston awarded funds to the Galveston Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation for their “Hold on To Your Butt” (HOTYB) campaign. This campaign was launched in 2020 to educate visitors and residents, about the dangers of cigarette butt litter to the environment and to provide receptacles for the disposal of that litter. 

Galveston Surfrider has partnered with the Galveston Park Board and the Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN) to install and maintain "butt cans" at a number of locations on the seawall, downtown, parks, and fishing piers throughout Galveston Island. Galveston Surfrider provides, installs, and maintains the cans.

Galveston's Own Farmer's Market

Galveston's Own Farmer Market will collaborate with the Galveston Island Tree Conservancy and the Galveston Independent School District to strengthen the management of their Young Gardener Program (YPG) sites and initiate a hands-on native/pollinator plant propagation and giveaway project. The inaugural “Plants for the People!” giveaway will take place in the Fall of 2023. Much like when our YGP students host their own vendor booth at GOFM to sell their school-grown vegetables, this giveaway will put nature directly in the hands of locals & empower them to beautify their small piece of Galveston.
