International Coastal Cleanup

Join us for International Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, Sept. 19. We are looking for volunteers to help remove litter from the shorelines and around the park at Fort Caroline National Memorial and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park. We will be at both parks from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m.

Volunteers should meet at the visitor’s center at Fort Caroline National Memorial at 12713 Ft. Caroline Rd. or at Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park at 500 Wonderwood Dr. If you come to Hanna Park, let the gate attendant know you are there for the cleanup, and they will direct you on where to meet.

Please wear closed-toe shoes and bring work gloves (if you have them), sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, sunglasses and water (in a reusable water bottle). TPF will have additional work gloves, equipment and supplies and will also provide snacks and water. Volunteers of all ages are welcome, but those under 18 must have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or scout leader. Volunteers are eligible for community service hours. The waiver and a form to join TPF’s volunteer list are available at https://www.timucuanparks.org/volunteer/.
