Join ACT for a cleanup event at Santa Fe Springs Preserve. We will be removing debris from two former home sites on the property surrounding the main spring. This is a great opportunity to volunteer and see the preserve before it opens to the public.

This work day is open to the general public. All minors who wish to volunteer must be accompanied by an adult. Due to COVID-19, space is limited to the first 15 people who RSVP (see below for RSVP info).

Masks will be required to be worn at all times during this event.

WHAT TO WEAR & BRING

Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. Bring water, snacks, bug spray, sunscreen, and hat. Face masks are required. Gloves will be provided, but feel free to bring your own!

WHERE

Santa Fe Springs Preserve

Driving directions will be provided to all registered volunteers one week prior to this event.

ABOUT THE PRESERVE

At the confluence of Olustee Creek and the Santa Fe River sits the 254 acres, two freshwater springs, and 1.3 river miles of pure Florida that make up Santa Fe Springs Preserve. Tall live oaks, cypress trees, blossoming chickasaw plums and native azaleas dot the river banks and steep bluffs of the preserve. Large alligators, wading birds, turtles, catfish, garfish and other water creatures can be found along and in the river within the vicinity of Santa Fe Springs Preserve. Learn more here.
