Everglades Allies Clean-Up
This event has passed.
Lend a helping hand to keep the Everglades healthy on Sunday, October 6 at the Everglades Allies Clean-Up 2024. Organized by Love the Everglades Movement, this hands-on event offers participants the chance to engage in direct action to help restore the Everglades. Volunteers will meet at 3:00 p.m. in the back parking lot (Raccoon 7) and caravan to the clean-up site, where they’ll assist in removing trash and invasive plants while learning about the ecosystem.
The clean-up is open to all ages and provides an opportunity for individuals and organizations to contribute to the preservation of this vital landscape. Volunteers are encouraged to wear closed-toed shoes and bring reusable water containers. Gloves and garbage bags will be provided, and a water cooler will be available for refills.
In addition to the clean-up, artists are invited to repurpose reclaimed materials into sculptures, instruments or other creative works. Artists interested in participating can connect with the organizers to be involved in this aspect of the project.
Love the Everglades Movement will also offer community service hours for volunteers, with paperwork available on-site.
