MLK Day of Service Benefits Blue Cypress Park

The Timucuan Parks Foundation (TPF), along with more than 40 volunteers, came together on Jan. 15 for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Event at Blue Cypress Park in Arlington. The group, who ranged in age from 8 to 80, spent the morning cleaning up litter from under the boardwalk and along the shoreline of the St. Johns River.

Volunteers included TPF’s Trail Team, members of TPF’s new Young Professionals Group, a group of students from Sandalwood High School, volunteers from MW Builders and others, who collected 62 bags of trash and wood that had washed ashore.

The cleanup event was held in partnership with JaxParks. For more information on future clean-ups, visit timucuanparks.org/volunteer.
