Cleanup bags\, gloves and grabbers will be provided. \nUseful Items to Bring:\n\nFULL reusable water bottle\nClosed-toe shoes (Required. We HIGHLY recommend wearing rain boots! This park is prone to flooding and general sogginess.)\nSun protection (sunscreen\, hat\, sunglasses)\nBug spray\nWork/gardening gloves (cleanup gloves will be provided)\nSmall garden tools (trowels\, shovels\, etc.)\n\nRegister\nPlease register to let us know you’ll be joining us so we can plan accordingly. \nSafety Precautions\n\nEveryone must register/sign a liability waiver to participate.\nAn adult must accompany youth under 18 years of age.\nStay together and work in teams of at least two people.\nWatch your footing\, avoid steep embankments\, and use caution when walking through tall grass or brush.\nDo not use your bare hands to pick up broken glass or sharp items. Trash grabbers will be available.\nLeave hazardous items\, such as syringes or dead animals\, in place and notify the Site Captain.\nDo not try to pick up items too heavy for you to lift. When in doubt\, seek help.\nRespect wildlife and keep your distance.\nTake breaks as needed\, protect yourself from the sun\, and drink plenty of water.\nMake sure trash bags are not too full to close and secure.\nKeep tires separate from the trash bags.\n\nResilient Ribault\nThe Resilient Ribault initiative is a community-driven effort led by St. Johns Riverkeeper & LISC Jacksonville to protect and restore the Ribault River and the neighborhoods that call it home. At Riverview Park\, volunteers play a vital role in caring for one of the most important public access points to the river—supporting clean water\, healthy habitats\, and safe\, welcoming spaces for recreation and learning. \nThrough hands-on volunteer opportunities\, Resilient Ribault connects residents\, partners\, and local leaders to nature-based solutions like shoreline stewardship\, litter prevention\, habitat enhancement\, and community education. Every hour you give helps strengthen river health\, build neighborhood resilience\, and ensure the Trout River remains a resource for generations to come. \nWhether you’re a first-time volunteer or a returning steward of the river\, your participation at Riverview Park directly supports environmental justice\, climate resilience\, and community pride in Northwest Jacksonville.

SUMMARY:Vertical Oyster Garden Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Vertical Oyster Garden Workshop with CCA Florida and Conservation Florida | Saturday\, October 3 | 9 a.m. – Noon | Marine Science Research Institute at Jacksonville University\nSt. Johns RIVERKEEPER has partnered with CCA Florida and Jacksonville University to launch a Vertical Oyster Garden (VOG) program in the Jacksonville area. Vertical Oyster Gardens consist of recycled oyster shells that are strung together to create habitat for new oysters along with many other species of marine invertebrates. A single adult oyster has the ability to filter up to 50 gallons of water per day and each VOG can accumulate dozens of new oysters in just a few months. \nVolunteers can expect to take part in the following tasks:\n\nShovel shells into buckets/ wheelbarrow and bring to work site\nCut rope lengths\, burn ends\, make ends tight so shells can string easily\, tie a knot at one end of the rope\nDrill hole in each shell with drill press\nString shells and tie off ropes\n\nBring garden gloves if you have them as the oyster shells can be hard and rigid. \nRSVP\nReserve your spot in here! Spots are limited in the workshop. Please let us know if you are no longer able to attend. \nSt. Johns River VOG Program\nLearn more about the St. Johns River VOG Program here. If you live on the St. Johns River\, or a tributary\, north of the Arlington River – you can request your own VOGs.
