SUMMARY:VOG Creation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:VOG Creation Workshop | Saturday\, June 21 from 9 a.m. – Noon at the Jacksonville University Marine Science Research Institute Building\nSt. Johns RIVERKEEPER\, CCA Florida and the Marine Science Research Institute at Jacksonville University have teamed up 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. The goal is to distribute hundreds of VOGs throughout the Jacksonville area to improve water quality and create new oyster habitats. The Marine Science Research Institute at Jacksonville University will be incorporating a research aspect into this project with plans to monitor the VOGs following the deployments. \nEvent Details\nWe are hosting an assembly workshop to build a second batch of VOGs for local residents. There will be stations to punch holes in the recycled oyster shells\, string them on the rope\, and tie them. Bring garden gloves if you have them as the oyster shells can be hard and rigid. \nRegister\nThis workshop is at capacity. Please check out our other upcoming volunteer opportunities!

The event will include a walk through the park to collect trash and debris with stops to discuss the park vegetation and the role it plays in sustaining river health. Efforts will be made to highlight the role the park and Craig Creek in sustaining St Johns River health. \nRegister\nPlease RSVP here. \nWhat to Bring/Wear\n\nComfortable\, water-resistant shoes or boots (Especially if you plan to help pick up trash – the grassy areas of the park and the creek bank tend to be wet.)\nProtective clothing (hat\, sunglasses) and sunscreen\nFULL reusable water bottle\n\nThere are no restrooms and/or portlets in the park\, so plan accordingly. \nDirections and Parking\nThe address for River Oaks Park is 1000 River Oaks Road\, but the outing will begin at the bridge across Craig Creek at the East end of the park near Brookwood Road\, NOT at 1000 River Oaks Road. Parking along Brookwood Road is limited\, so consider parking in the Southside Methodist Church parking area adjacent to San Jose Blvd and walking to the starting location. \nGPS Coordinates for Starting Location: 30°17.6990’N\, 81°38.9300’W

SUMMARY:VOG Creation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:VOG Creation Workshop | Saturday\, October 18 from 9 a.m. – Noon at the Jacksonville University Marine Science Research Institute Building\nSt. Johns RIVERKEEPER\, CCA Florida and the Marine Science Research Institute at Jacksonville University have teamed up 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. The goal is to distribute hundreds of VOGs throughout the Jacksonville area to improve water quality and create new oyster habitats. The Marine Science Research Institute at Jacksonville University will be incorporating a research aspect into this project with plans to monitor the VOGs following the deployments. \nEvent Details\nWe are hosting an assembly workshop to build a third batch of VOGs for local residents. There will be stations to punch holes in the recycled oyster shells\, string them on the rope\, and tie them. Bring garden gloves if you have them as the oyster shells can be hard and rigid. \nRegister\nRegister here to volunteer! Spots are limited in this workshop. \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.

SUMMARY:Park & King Business District Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Park & King Business District Cleanup | Sunday\, December 14\, 2025 from 9-11 a.m. | Cultivate Jax\nJoin St. Johns Riverkeeper and community partners for a cleanup in the heart of the Park and King Street Business District! We’ll meet at Cultivate Jax to grab supplies\, then spread out through the surrounding streets to pick up litter and beautify this vibrant local hub. \nEven though this area isn’t directly on the St. Johns River\, it’s only a few blocks away — and thanks to storm drains\, wind\, and rain\, trash from our streets often finds its way into the river. By cleaning up here\, we’re helping protect the river’s health and raising awareness that every part of Jacksonville is riverfront property. \nThis cleanup goes beyond aesthetics — it’s about taking care of our community and the waterways that connect us all. \nRegister\nRSVP here to sign the waiver and let us know you plan to join us!
