Volunteers needed for Little Talbot Island cleanup

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Timucuan Parks Foundation and Florida State Parks need volunteers to help clean up Little Talbot Island State Park.

You’ll pick up litter along the shoreline, in the parking lot, and in and around the jetty rocks on the beach at the Fort Goerge Inlet.

The event is happening from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Wednesday. You’ll meet at the parking lot on the south end of Little Talbot Island, just north of the Fort George River bridge.

Make sure to dress comfortably in closed-toe shoes. Bring a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, and whatever else may be needed to be comfortable on the beach, like a hat and sunglasses.
