Capping off the currently-planned events is FWB’s annual participation in Coastsweep - Saturday, September 16 from 10:00 am to noon on Wollaston Beach near the yacht clubs. COASTSWEEP Massachusetts was formed in 1987. COASTSWEEP participants join hundreds of thousands of other volunteers in the world’s largest volunteer effort for the ocean — Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup — collecting trash, fishing line and other marine debris, and recording data on what they find. This data is used to find solutions for keeping trash out of the ocean

FWB is pleased to sponsor free Earthen Yoga on the Beach with Christine Cotter. All levels are welcome, beginner friendly. Please bring a mat, towel, and water. North end of the beach Quincy Shore Drive, near Hollis Avenue. Sign up at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/earthing-beach-sunset-yoga-withchristine-tickets-686155388237

FWB will again join forces with the Thomas Crane Public Library for Story Hour at the Tot Lot across from the Beach (E. Elm St.).

Collaborating with Asian Women for Health, this year will feature DJ, dancing, sack races, 3 legged races, glitter tattoos, corn hole, bubble barge, splash tower, sand art, noodle hockey, origami, takeaways – and so much more!

Yoga on the Beach with Lori Scott will be held on Sunday, July 16 at 8:00 am at the north end of Wollaston Beach. While all FWB programs are free and open to the public, space is limited for yoga, so reservations are required by emailing Lori at loriscottyoga@gmail.com.

FWB, in partnership with the Thomas Crane Public Library, will present the first of two story hours at the Tot Lot across from Wollaston Beach (W. Elm Street). Story hour will begin at 10:00 am and will be geared to children 2-6 years of age.
