In conjunction with Make a Difference Day, the next DeLeon Springs Cleanup will be October 25, 2008 .  The staging location is at the entrance to DeLeon Springs State Park , 601 Ponce DeLeon Blvd. in DeLeon Springs.  Volunteers are asked to report there to register, receive trash bags, plastic gloves, and a road assignment.

Pre-registration is required.  

Volunteers should wear comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes and bring work gloves.  Rakes, shovels, and trash grabbers may be helpful but not necessary.  Steps should be taken to protect yourself from the sun.  Bottled water is a good idea to bring.

All trash should be brought to the park entrance where a dumpster will be placed.  Tires, white goods (appliances) and hazardous waste will be piled separately from other trash.

For more information concerning the event, contact Tom Carey at (386) 736-5927 ext. 2073.  

On October 27, 2007, 60 volunteers picked up 3.71-tons of trash and other debris in the Community and Springshed of DeLeon Springs.  Participants received a t-shirt.  After the cleanup, participants were provided free admission to DeLeon Springs State Park where a complimentary lunch was served.
