This project was able to be completed by the participation and donations from our local Clean Up Florida Waters initiative. Every year REALTORS from around the state join forces to remove trash and debris from Florida waterways. This year our Northeast Florida event will be held July 8, 2023. We will have over 10 sites around our area that need your help. The goal is to get out and clean up local boat ramps, retention ponds, barrier islands in the St. Johns and local beaches. We ask the community to join us for a fun, FREE event centered around conservation and improving the quality of our waterways. Our goal is to remove 10 tons of trash in one day locally, and 50 tons statewide in the month of July. See EventBrite. com for locations and registration. Search “Clean Up Florida Waters”.
