Sierra Club Northeast Florida Group

Not a Sierra Club event, but we're teaming with Groundwork Jacksonville for cleanup along the Emerald Trail.

Let's join in on a trash cleanup along the beautiful Emerald Trail in downtown Jacksonville. We will clean the one-mile section from the Norwood Shopping Center down to the Evergreen Cemetery.

We'll start from behind the Jville Crab Shack #1 in the Norwood Shopping Center (5625 Norwood Ave) and help clean down to the Evergreen Cemetery.

GWJ will provide trash grabbers and bags. Please bring water and gloves.

You will be required to sign a City of Jacksonville liability waiver.

Here's a great overview of our S-Line:

Groundwork Jacksonville is the city’s primary nonprofit organization specifically created to clean and redevelop Jacksonville's Emerald Trail and convert contaminated land into parks, playgrounds, trails, and other public green space.
