SFAEP Coastal Kayak Cleanup - Sandspur Islands at Oleta River State Park

Come help us clean up ocean trash from the Sandspur Islands at Oleta River State Park.

The cleanup event requires a short kayak trip (less than 1/2 hour) to the islands.  

Volunteer Information:

• Meeting at BG Oleta River Outdoors in Oleta River State Park (www.floridastateparks.org/park/Oleta-River)
• Transportation to the islands cannot be provided by SFAEP, but a limited number of FREE canoe/kayak rentals will be provided by BG Oleta River Outdoors.
• Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toed shoes like sneakers for working in mangroves (no flip-flops!)
• Sunglasses and hat are highly recommended
• Bring gloves (we suggest reusable working, gardening or dish gloves that you can pick up at the grocery-store/home depot)
• Bags for trash removal will be provided
