Jeffries Creek Paddle: Community Clean Up

Florence Outside is hosting its first Jeffries Creek clean-up paddle!

This will entails a 1 hour paddle from the kayak launch beside Naturally Outdoors to Jeffries Creek Nature Park on Wisteria Drive. We’ll paddle down Jeffries Creek cleaning up litter or other debris along our way while enjoying the beautiful scenery and community.

Jeffries Creek is a spectacular treasure for the community of Florence. The cypress-tupelo swamp system is home for an abundance of wildlife including deer, owls, great blue herons, otters, and much more! The swamp acts a natural filter system, cleaning the water as it flows through it. The floodplain of Jeffries Creek is critical for providing relief from flooding during storm events. As a community, it is our privilege to take care and protect our waterway from pollution such as litter! Clearing downfall allows us to maintain access to the water and enjoy this resource.

Please meet us at Jeffries Creek Nature Park off of Wisteria Drive at 8:00 AM sharp with your paddling gear! Naturally Outdoors is willing to provide gear for those wishing to volunteer but don’t have a boat (let us know if you need a boat ahead of time)! Trash bags and gloves will be provided. Naturally Outdoors will provide a shuttle service to transport our volunteers back to the start at the conclusion of this event.

Please contact the Naturally Outdoors team with further questions relative to paddling equipment at (843-665-1551).
