Event Updates

Earth Day Cleanup in North Fort Myers

We teamed up with Pelican's Snoballs for a cleanup in North Fort Myers! The volunteers removed over 2,000 pounds of trash from the area. Among the collected debris were tractor tires, a grill, and even a couch. We’re so grateful to everyone who rolled up their sleeves to help us restore and protect our community. Special shoutout to Pelican's Snoballs for providing the icy treats!

Celebrating the Youth!

On Global Youth Service Day, youth and their families gathered at Sands Park in Cape Coral to weed and mulch the butterfly garden and remove litter from around the park. Their efforts helped beautify the space and support local pollinators. After a morning of hands-on service, volunteers enjoyed an appreciation lunch together.

Growing our Tree Canopy

Volunteers gathered at Sands Park and planted 150 trees, contributing to a stronger, more resilient urban canopy. This effort supports a healthier ecosystem by enhancing biodiversity, improving air quality, and providing shade for future generations. Thank you to all who helped make it possible!

"Ding" Darling Day Conservation Carnival

We were proud to take part in the "Ding" Darling Day at Lakes Park! The annual Earth Day event turned Lakes Park into an educational carnival of fun. Shoutout to the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge for hosting such a meaningful event. It was a wonderful day of teaching the youth and their families about environmental stewarship.
