International Coastal Cleanup Day is Saturday, Sept. 21 and Timucuan Parks Foundation is leading a cleanup at Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m. Volunteers should meet at 500 Wonderwood Drive and let the gate attendant know you are there for the TPF International Coastal Cleanup volunteer event to receive free admission to the park.
Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dirty. Please bring work gloves if you have them and a reusable water bottle. TPF will have additional gloves, trash bags and supplies and will provide extra water to refill bottles as well as snacks.
Volunteers of all ages are welcome, but those under eighteen must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. A parent, guardian or scout leader must accompany children under sixteen. Volunteers are eligible for community service hours. Waivers can be found at https://www.timucuanparks.org/volunteer/ or contact TPF at [email protected].
International Coastal Cleanup Day was created to raise awareness of growing pollution in the waterways and its impact on the planet.
