2022 International Coastal Cleanup in Franklin County

Meet at the Ochlockonee Bay Boat Ramp.

Apalachee Audubon volunteers will once again be participating in Coastal Cleanup this year along the shores of Ochlockonee Bay. Leaders Donna Legare and Jody Walthall will pick up supplies at the Leonard’s Landing ICC Sign-in at 8:30 and then meet our volunteers at the boat ramp just beyond the Ochlockonee Bay Bridge on the right as you are heading south on Hwy. 98 at 9:00 AM.  There is a portable potty on site.

We will work the shore and into the woods to collect trash which we will haul back to the boat ramp in a canoe. The Bluffs of Saint Teresa is a tract of Bald Point State Park and is a truly beautiful area in which to work.

Call Donna at (850) 386-1148 if you plan to volunteer so we can collect the proper number of supplies. Wear or bring sunscreen, bug spray, protective clothing (hats, long pants, long-sleeved shirts), work or close-toed water shoes, water bottle. I like to bring my own work gloves, but plastic gloves will be provided. If you want, bring a picnic lunch, and relax along the shore after the cleanup.
