VOLUNTEER EVENT
What: Trash Removal – International Coastal Cleanup event
Where: Limestone Creek Natural Area – 6570 Church St. – Jupiter (NOTE: this is the address for the main parking lot – volunteers are meeting at the kayak launch parking area off of Central Blvd. – see directions below)
When: Saturday, September 19, 2020
Time: 8 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.
Directions: From I-95 exit at Indiantown Road (SR 706) – head east on Indiantown Road to Central Blvd. – turn left and head north on Central Blvd. – after passing the fire station immediately turn left into the Limestone Creek kayak launch parking area – if you cross the bridge you missed the turn – look for a white County truck to locate volunteer meeting area.
Additional Information: Volunteers should wear old shoes and clothing for this event as we will be working in muddy, areas. Poison ivy is found at this natural area. There are no restroom facilities available at the site. Restrooms are available in various convenience stores and fast food restaurants along Indiantown Road. The Department will supply tools, gloves, and refreshments. Event participation is limited to the first 9 volunteers who register.
Registration: The volunteer projects are designed for volunteers ages 16 and older. Volunteers 15 and under must be accompanied by parent or guardian. Volunteers can register for an ERM event by calling 561-233-2426 or emailing amathews@pbcgov.org. Thanks for helping the Department keep Palm Beach County clean and green. Important Reminders: Remember, we are doing things a bit different because of Covid 19. Please read the following bulleted items: Group Size – We are limited to 10 people per cleanup. This number includes any staff helping with the event. So depending on the event the number of volunteers allowed to register may be 7, 8 or 9. Please register early if you want to help – and if you have to cancel, please let me know as soon as possible so your spot can be given to another volunteer. Safety Equipment – Please bring a mask with you. This does not mean you have to wear it during the entire event. Volunteers will need to wear a mask when 6 feet of distance can’t be maintained (for example, when volunteers are transported around the site). Gloves and Water Bottles – Please bring your own gloves and a water bottle. I will have gloves and cups with me in case people forget – but having your own equipment reduces physical interaction with staff and other volunteers. Summer Heat – Over the summer months (June, July, August, September) we will be on an abbreviated work schedule – planning only 2 events each month. The events will begin at 8 a.m. and end around 10:45 a.m. With heat indexes hovering near 100 degrees it is just too hot to do multiple events that feature strenuous outdoor work.
