Spend your Saturday outside enjoying nature while doing your part to keep Jacksonville beautiful. The city of Jacksonville and the Timucuan Parks Foundation are hosting cleanups as part of the 30th Annual St. Johns River Celebration tomorrow. The event invites us to spend a couple of hours cleaning up litter and debris in neighborhoods, parks, beaches and boat ramps citywide. Wherever you live, there is probably a cleanup happening near you. As a thank you, volunteers can also show up to Riverside Arts Market after the cleanup to grab a free T-shirt and a snack. See the list of cleanup locations.
