Keep Jacksonville Beautiful is looking for local volunteers to help clean and protect the environment by eliminating debris that can injure wildlife and contaminate beaches and waterways. Advance registration is not required; site captains will register volunteers and provide bags and gloves at the listed sites. Participants must be over 18 or accompanied by an adult; service hour certificates will also be available for students who need to satisfy community service requirements.

This event provides an opportunity for residents to make a difference in their community while being part of an international effort to protect our oceans, lakes, and rivers.
