COMMUNITY SERVICE/CAS OPPORTUNITY: Greenscape of Jacksonville
Please join us as we plant trees along Jacksonville's S-Line, North Terminus on November 30th from 9:30 am - 12:00 pm.
The S-Line trail was an abandoned CSX railroad Right-of-Way, appropriately, in the shape of an "S". The City of Jacksonville seized the opportunity to create a ribbon of open space in the surrounding urban matrix by purchasing this property. Much of the 4.5-mile trail will run through residential areas, providing residents alternative off street routes for jogging, walking, biking and rollerblading. The development of this trail will offer the surrounding citizens a safer transportation alternative to vehicle-dominated streets as well as a linear recreation corridor.
Greenscape, in collaboration with the City's Parks and Recreation Department and with funding provided by Ally Bank, will plant 50 trees to provide shade and stormwater uptake along this urban greenway.
Please sign up now to reserve your spot to assist with the planting of this historic area along the S-Line trail!
