OHFL sponsored water bottle fill stations:
Daniel’s cleanup on Scenic Hwy and my walk along NLO beach collected 31 lbs of litter
Apr 26th Help! Found at Jones Creek path. Ideas on kind or turtle?
To finish off the month, Vera, Kitty & friends collected a further 86 lbs of litter
46 volunteers picked up 3,167 lbs from six locations from Fort Walton Beach to Navy Point
Apr 19th Numerous cleanups - 13 since Apr 5th. Monthly total to date is 2,664 lbs
Good idea by the NPS. Every way to make it convenient to pick up other people’s litter helps. Too bad they don’t litter in the first place - leave NOTHING behind!
Apr 5th A new "item" for OceanHour - part of a bee hive at NLO.
Good changeup from the most frequent items - cig butts, Whataburger wrappers, Circle K Polar cups and dental floss pics
1,196 lbs from various sites in the area - NLO, Bayfront Pkwy, Okaloosa Boardwalk & Bob Sides Bridge. Thanks to the organizations that came out to help
