Coastal Cleanup scheduled for Saturday

The 20th Annual Coastal Cleanup program will be held in Franklin County on Saturday, and volunteers are needed to clean up Franklin County’s coast. If you would like to help, you can contact the Apalachicola Bay and Riverkeepers Group for all the information. That number is 653-8936 or you can e-mail them at Riverkeeper@apalachicolariverkeeper.org. The annual cleanup campaign helps remove thousands of pounds of trash from area beaches. Last year volunteers picked up nearly 10 thousand pounds of trash from Alligator Point to Apalachicola. This year Volunteers will help clean up the beaches from Bald Point to St. Vincent Island including locations in Carrabelle, Eastpoint, St. George Island and Apalachicola. Again, if you’d like to help, contact the Apalachicola Riverkeeper at 653-8936.
