VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR LOCAL
CONSERVATION PROJECT
September 28, 2006
Contact: Geoff Brown (850) 921-1047
On Saturday, Sept. 30, volunteers will be
lending Mother Nature a hand to spruce up Guana River Wildlife
Management Area (WMA) for the fall season as part of National
Public Lands Day.
“Guana River WMA is just one of more than 65
sites in Florida where volunteers will show their pride in our
public lands,” said Geoff Brown, partnerships coordinator for
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC)
Office of Recreation Services. “There’s plenty of work to do,
and we would welcome more volunteers to help install trail
signs, benches and picnic tables, weed-whack trails, pick up
litter and perform other maintenance tasks.”
Volunteers will meet at 8 a.m. at the FWC’s
Guana River WMA Field Office at 440 Guana River Road in Ponte
Vedra Beach and work until noon. Brown recommends volunteers
bring water, sunscreen, bug spray, work gloves, tools and
gardening implements.
To register, contact Geoff Brown at (850)
921-1047 or Justin Ellenberger at (904) 825-6877 today.
