Mary Peterson 5/23/2017 10:21 PMI picked up litter on the beach this morning. Most of it was paper and plastic. The Lewis and Clark National Historic Park had a simple and effective display about items found on the beach and how long it takes them to break down . Some of them will never break down (styrofoam). -
