Join the Friends of Talbot Islands State Parks and Timucuan Parks Foundation in a morning of outdoor trail work and vegetation clearing to help protect a one-of-a-kind cultural gem, the Timucuan Indian Grand Site shell ring on Big Talbot Island State Park.

Volunteers will assist in clearing encroaching vegetation using hand trimming tools, treating palmetto stumps, and removing debris — all efforts that help maintain the site.

Following the cleanup, The Friends of Talbot Islands State Parks will provide lunch.

This is a project for volunteers 18 and older, and preregistration is required. Please wear long pants, long sleeves, and sturdy shoes such as hiking boots or rubber rain boots and bring a water bottle, insect repellent, and sunscreen. If you have loppers, clippers or garden gloves, please bring them as well.

LOCATION: Meet on the south end of Big Talbot Island at the Wayside parking area along State Rd A1A, just north of the Simpson’s Creek bridge, at 9 a.m.
