International Coastal Cleanup Day Sat., Sept. 19, 2026
The Chapter is organizing a beach cleanup on Saturday on the ocean and bay sides of the island near the cabin. On Sunday, take part in the annual garden cleanup and preservation tasks and learn about the Fire Island Cabin’s composting efforts.
By participating in this weekend event, you will contribute to the restoration of our coastal ecosystem and raise awareness about the urgent need for sustainable practices. You also get to connect with others who share an interest in environmental preservation, all in the relaxing surroundings of AMC’s Fire Island Cabin.

Note: these activities are different from events led by New York-North Jersey Chapter leaders, such as related to sailing, or birdwatching. Those events are listed on Outdoors Connector separately, and you can see those activities by clicking the link below. Call AMC Reservations first at 603 466-2727 if you have questions, but you can also speak to Joe or Ryan at the Cabin if needed: For chapter volunteer-led events, you register and pay through the link included in the description, not through AMC Reservations.
