SUMMARY:Art and Nature Walk: Blue Cypress Park
DESCRIPTION:Art and Nature Walk | Saturday\, April 4 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. | Blue Cypress Park\nFeeling overwhelmed and disconnected? Taking a moment to immerse yourself in nature and tap into your creativity may help! \nNature journaling allows us to focus our attention and appreciate the beauty in natural things. Using all five senses\, nature journaling and making art help us connect with nature\, sooth our nervous systems\, and foster curiosity about the nature we are a part of. \nJoin us at Blue Cypress Preserve Park for a leisurely hike and nature journaling exercise. You don’t have to be a good artist to enjoy nature journaling! The goal is to slow down\, take a breath\, and observe and appreciate the natural systems around us. \nSupplies\nPlease bring a notebook or journal\, a pencil\, and any other supplies you may want like colored pencils\, crayons\, or markers. Keep in mind you will need to easily carry them on the trail. \nIf you feel so inclined after the event\, take your artistic practice to the next step and share your project with us! We can share it out on our social media and future event promotion. \nDirections\nWe will meet at the start of the boardwalk at the back of the park. Please enter the park from the main entrance off of University (not the community center entrance) and follow the road all the way back past the golf course to the small parking lot in front of the boardwalk. \nRegister\nThis is a free event\, but registration is required as space is limited.

SUMMARY:Breaking the Silence: Talking Climate Change in Jacksonville
DESCRIPTION:Breaking the Silence: Talking Climate Change in Jacksonville | Wednesday\, April 15 at 6 p.m. | St. Johns Cathedral (256 E Church Street)\nIncreased storm intensity\, widespread flooding\, and deadly heat. Whether you label this as “climate change” or call it part of a natural cycle\, these disruptions are happening – and causing real pain and loss even here in Jacksonville. And like many communities across the country\, more people share these concerns than we realize – yet they’re spoken of in hushed tones\, if at all. \nJoin C-Change Conversations Founder Kathleen Biggins for a rational\, nothing-but-the-facts discussion about this complicated topic. This presentation will provide a succinct overview of the science behind these weather occurrences\, outline the potential risks ahead\, and provide suggestions on how we can protect ourselves and our loved ones. \nThis presentation is also about starting the conversation\, giving you the tools and confidence to discuss climate change with friends\, neighbors\, and colleagues\, so we can build shared understanding and momentum for action. Lauded by moderate and conservative groups across the country\, this non-partisan\, science-based presentation has been shared with over 22\,500 individuals in 33 states and internationally. \nIt’s time to bring this dialogue into the open and to make sure Jacksonville is ready for the challenges ahead. \n“C-Change Conversations offers a factual and balanced wake-up call for all of us who care about global stability and who\, on a personal level\, love our children and grandchildren.” – William C. Hubbard\, Dean of University of South Carolina Rice School of Law \nRSVP\nPlease RSVP here and let us know you plan to join.

SUMMARY:POSH Module Build - Living Shoreline for Riverview Park
DESCRIPTION:POSH Module Build – Living Shoreline for Riverview Park | Saturday\, May 2\nHelp us build Pervious Oyster Shell Habitat (POSH) Modules – 30-pound balls of recycled oyster shells and cement that form the foundation of a natural oyster reef along the Trout River. \nA single adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day\, and as a reef grows\, it creates habitat for hundreds of aquatic species while acting as a natural buffer against coastal erosion and storm surges. \nOver 85% of natural oyster reefs have been lost worldwide. Every module we build helps turn that tide. \nIn August 2025\, volunteers installed 40 POSH Modules at Riverview Park\, creating approximately 140 feet of oyster reef. Now we’re growing it further. \nNo experience needed — just a willingness to get a little messy and a lot of heart for the river. \nVolunteer Shift 1: 8-11 a.m. at 2000 Ponte Vedra Blvd (parking lot by Guana Reserve Middle Beach)\nMorning shift volunteers will load 13.5 trash cans of recycled oyster shells and bring them to the GTM Research Reserve Welcome Center (505 Guana River Rd\, Ponte Vedra Beach\, FL 32082). It will likely take 2-3 trips. Loading the shells wont take up the entire shift\, so once complete volunteers will be able to start on the POSH Module molds. \nVolunteer Shift 2: 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at GTM Research Reserve Welcome Center\nAfternoon shift volunteers will come straight to the GTM Research Reserve Welcome Center (505 Guana River Rd) to relieve the morning shift volunteers. You’ll get straight to work on creating the POSH Modules. The process involves mixing oyster shells\, cement\, and water into a cement mixer where shells will get an even coat of cement. They will then be poured into hexagonal molds. \nRegister here to participate in either shift. \nThe POSH Modules will be stored for about a month to cure. Then they will be removed from the molds and deployed into the river to help create oyster habitat! \nNature-based Solutions: Improving Water Quality One Oyster at a Time
