Earth Day Cleanup at Joe Carlucci/Sisters Creek Park and Boat Ramp (Jacksonville)
April 22, 2022 @ 8:30 am - 11:30 am
Celebrate Earth Day 2022 with a cleanup at the wetlands at Heritage River Road (the road that leads to the Joe Carlucci Sisters Creek Park and Boat Ramp). This area is a fabulous spot for shorebirds and wading birds, but it’s desperately in need of a cleanup! This site is an eBird HotSpot where more than 150 bird species have been reported. Join us to help clean up this lovely spot and help keep trash from harming the wildlife we love!
We’ll supply bags, gloves and grabbers, we just need YOU and your help! Please wear close-toed shoes or boots, and clothes that can get dirty. FOR YOUR SAFETY, NO SANDALS OR FLIP-FLOPS PLEASE!
What to bring:
• Water
• Sunglasses
• A hat
• Sunscreen/bug spray
• Heavy-duty gloves if you have them
• Waiver form signed by one of your parents if you are under 18. You may download the form at http://duvalaudubon.org/images/files/COJ-SJRK-and-DAS-WAIVER-for-Students-under-18.pdf and bring it with you.
All participants must visit the Duval Audubon Society checkin table at the Joe Carlucci Sisters Creek Park to sign in and receive cleanup supplies.
