Timucuan Parks Foundation and the City of Jacksonville’s JaxParks are asking the community to join them on Thursday, June 29 for a summer service project at Tillie K. Fowler Regional Park. Volunteers should meet at the park at 7000 Roosevelt Blvd. from 9 a.m. until noon for historic road and trail maintenance, invasive plant removal and litter pickup.
Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes, clothes they don’t mind getting dirty and a hat. Bring work gloves if you have them, sunscreen, insect repellent and a full reusable water bottle. TPF will provide additional water, snacks, work equipment, and insect repellent.
Students can earn community service hours. Children under 16 must be supervised by their parent/guardian or scout leader. Anyone under 18 years old must have a parent/guardian’s signature on the liability waiver before starting work. The waiver and a form to join TPF’s volunteer list can be accessed at https://www.timucuanparks.org/volunteer/.
