On June 15th, 2024, the AYLUS Orlando branch cleaned up Jamestown Park and picked up lots of weeds, branches, and sticks, piling everything up in trash bags within the span of an hour. Jamestown Park is a 1-acre park located south of Oviedo in the Jamestown community. Amenities include a playground and a basketball court. The Cross Seminole Trail is also less than 1 mile to the north of the park.
The participants did the following:
- Pick up roughly 2 full bags of debris from the area of the entire park. Most of the debris was piled rather than bagged
- Weed the playground and clean up a lot of rogue debris that was scattered throughout the area.
This event aligns perfectly with AYLUS Orlando’s mission of environmentalism. By maintaining and beautifying local parks, we contribute to preserving natural spaces and ensuring that these areas remain safe and enjoyable for the community. Our commitment to regular cleanups reflects our dedication to fostering a cleaner, healthier environment. Each cleanup effort not only improves the immediate area but also raises awareness about the importance of environmental stewardship, inspiring others to take part in similar initiatives.
AYLUS has made other efforts through the adopt-a-location programs, such as the SR-419 Road they adopted through the Adopt-a-Road system, the Wekiva River they adopted through the adopt-a-river system, and the Sanford Boardward they adopted through the Adopt-a-Goat system. AYLUS hopes more people can come and help for their efforts.
This is the sixth cleanup. This event occurred on June 15th, 2024.
