Sharing a huge thank you to all of our volunteers that joined us at Moccasin Lake this weekend to remove invasive species! 🪏🌿🌳

We removed 628 pounds of invasives and some trash, making this our most successful removal at Moccasin Lake yet!!

Removing invasives gives native species more room to grow, which is super important for restoring healthy habitats that can support other wildlife. It is hard work, and it wouldn’t be possible without our wonderful volunteers!

Swipe to the last slides to see before and after photos of one of the areas we worked on. They’re impressive!

MAR is creating a new pocket pollinator garden at Jorgensen Lake Park!🐝🌻

This small garden will give native pollinators and other wildlife a place to eat, hide, and rest as our city continues to grow. We’d love for you to join us as we create this new little habitat together!

📍: Jorgensen Park
🗓️: Saturday, September 26 9–11 AM
🪏: Tools and gloves provided - along with a well-earned treat from The Hyppo Gourmet Ice Pops after the work is done!

A huge thank you to Hyppo for their continued support of MAR and for helping us refresh our volunteers after a morning of hard work. We couldn’t do it without our community partners.

Come get your hands dirty and help us grow something good. 🌱

Do you ever wonder what the MAR team is up to between events? This week, we checked on some previously planted tree saplings along the Pinellas Trail. Some needed to be removed so we noted them to be replaced! 🌳

It’s extremely insightful to monitor our plantings over time to better understand their growing conditions and ensure more establishment in the future.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to continue this work on the Pinellas Trail, beautifying our city and creating habitat and shade cover over such a frequented trail system.

Stay tuned to sign up for our TRICK or TREE event on Halloween, it’s going to be spooktacular🎃

There’s nothing quite as rewarding as getting your hands dirty for a good cause! 🌱☀️🪏

This past weekend, MAR joined for a volunteer workday at the Deuces Live St Pete Food Forest. The Food Forest is an urban garden that provides fresh, locally grown produce to the St. Petersburg community!

We spent the morning removing weeds and invasive species from the garden beds to get them ready to grow fresh, new seedlings. Stay tuned to see what gets planted next!

Swipe to the last two pictures to see the garden before and after two hours of hard work with friends and neighbors!

Let’s do some trash-talking (the good kind) 🐚🌊

This September, help us give Madeira Beach some love - one bottle cap, one wrapper, one flip-flop at a time. Join MAR, the City of Madeira Beach, and the Ocean Conservancy for the 2026 International Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, September 19!

Here’s the plan:
📖 Meet other community members and learn about the impact ICC has globally
🥗 Fuel up with nourishing food & drinks from EDIBOWL + Gateway Subs St. Petersburg & Tampa
🧤 Comb the shoreline for marine debris (we’ve got gloves, buckets & grabbers covered)
📊 Turn what we find into data for the Ocean Conservancy’s global ICC effort. Yup, even that stray straw becomes part of a worldwide dataset fighting ocean pollution!

Come for the cleanup, stay for the community - everyone who registers enters a chance to win a Gateway Subs gift card just for showing up!

Spots are tight, so don’t let this one wash away! Link in bio to snag yours. 🔗
