They\u2019ll be directed to the meetup location inside the park.<\/p>\n Participants will help collect litter throughout the park, including the beach, trails, parking lots, picnic areas, and the pond.<\/p>\n \u201cWe always tell people to Leave No Trace, but unfortunately, that does not always happen,\u201d said Felicia Boyd, program and outreach coordinator for TPF. \u201cThat\u2019s why each year we do our part, along with our amazing volunteers, to clean up one of our area\u2019s most loved and visited natural resources.\u201d<\/p>\n Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes and clothing that can get dirty. Hats are recommended for sun protection. <\/p>\n Attendees are also encouraged to bring work gloves, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a full reusable water bottle. TPF will provide extra gloves, equipment, snacks, insect repellent, and water refill stations.<\/p>\n >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Children under 16 must be supervised by a parent, guardian, or scout leader. <\/p>\n Anyone under 18 must have a liability waiver signed by a parent or guardian. <\/p>\n Waivers are available at TimucuanParks.org\/volunteer.<\/a> Community service hours are available for participation.<\/p>\n For more information, call (904) 374-1107.<\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n [SIGN UP: <\/b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a>] <\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/b><\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Timucuan Parks Foundation and JaxParks are calling on volunteers to help clean up Kathryn Abbey…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5136],"tags":[5229,3188,723,7310,12632,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-14087","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-fl","10":"tag-florida","11":"tag-jacksonville","12":"tag-organization","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114745226361747599","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
