As part of the International Coastal Cleanup, members of Gulf High School’s environmental club cleaned up Eagle Point Park in New Port Richey on Sept. 21, from 8 to 11:30 a.m.
Information from the club: “Members of the environmental club arrived at the designated park at 8AM. They proceeded to sign in for the cleanup and collect the necessary supplies: gloves, vests, bug spray, water, and garbage bags. Starting at the park gate, the members set out on the road to collect trash. Copious amounts of trash were collected by the members, resulting in many filled garbage bags. This continued until they reached the end of the road, where they turned back to make their way back to the park. Once back at the park, the members explored the park, observing the surrounding environment: trees, foliage, water, playgrounds, and boardwalks. At 10:45, it was time for the members who volunteered to pick up food from their two designated restaurants. Once they returned, a great feast commenced, resulting in many full stomachs and empty plates. After the meal, the event concluded and all dispersed.”
