Join the Florida Chapter to help spruce up Florida’s grand dame, the Ocala National Forest on Saturday, March 13th at 8:00 AM. Volunteers will gather at the Pitman Visitors Center located at 45621 FL-19, Altoona, FL 32702 Google Maps: (29.0124077, -81.6417003).
Please bring water, garbage bags, boots, work gloves and appropriate clothing for a day in the wood.
The Ocala National Forest, covering 607 square miles of Central Florida was established in 1908 and is the oldest national forest east of the Mississippi. The Forest is home to over 600 natural lakes and ponds, several blackwater rivers and numerous species of wildlife.
Many areas of the Forest have unfortunately become heavily littered with bottles, cans, tires and even discarded boats. Our goal is to remove at least 1000 gallons of garbage from the woods in addition to discarded tires, furniture, boats, toilets, etc. Your participation is the key!
Please RSVP today and help restore the Ocala National Forest to its splendor. Those who participate will accumulate points for the Gobblers and Garbage Initiative.
