Doc Ford’s team members volunteer at Palm Harbor Museum
ST. PETERSBURG — A garden bed at the historic Palm Harbor Museum is ready for plants and flowers, thanks to team members from the Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille in Jungle Terrace. Volunteers recently weeded and removed debris from a 40-foot garden bed, while also composting useable roughage.
The bed will be transformed into a flourishing barrier between the museum and the buzzing U.S. 19 highway. The project was completed through Keep Pinellas Beautiful, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving the natural environment through community engagement and education.
Although it was the first time Jungle Terrace staff volunteered at the museum, they recently worked with Keep Pinellas Beautiful on a weeding and planting project at Boyd Hill Nature Preserve. Employees also participated in a beach cleanup this past summer.
Debris removal to begin in waterways
DUNEDIN — City workers will soon begin clearing storm-related debris and vegetation from Curlew Creek, Jerry Branch and Cedar Creek.
The work will help restore natural water flow, reduce local flooding risks and support the health of Dunedin’s waterways and surrounding ecosystems.
Work is expected to begin mid-November and continue for about six months. Crews from CrowderGulf Joint Ventures, Inc. will perform the debris removal, with Tetra Tech providing monitoring and documentation services.
City seeks volunteers for local council
