If you used a real Christmas tree this year, make sure you have a recycling plan! In #StJohnsCounty, you can bring your tree to a designated drop-off location so it can be used as mulch in a county park. Learn more: https://t.co/iAOzFKLXCU

Rising Tides celebrated their 2024 accomplishments & had one last successful cleanup for the year this past weekend.

🚯 The cleanup crew collected 14 bags of trash and loads of lumbar on the Northbank Riverwalk, near where McCoys Creek flows into the #StJohnsRiver. 🚯 Thank you!
