Over 50 cleanups in Duval, St. Johns, Putnam, Volusia and Seminole are planned during the month-long Great St. Johns River Cleanup! Beginning on March 18 and continuing through April 22, join an official cleanup in your county or organize a cleanup of your own. By participating and sharing your efforts on social media, you will also have a chance to win $1,000 (see below)!
St. Johns Riverkeeper is excited to collaborate with local governments and other organizations to expand our collective cleanup efforts across the St. Johns River watershed this spring. Together, we can make a difference! If you’re cleaning up on your own, let us know how many bags you collected!
