Volunteer Mana-team Support for Earth Day
Support the Earth: Volunteer with Save the Manatee Club
April is an exciting month filled with opportunities to protect the environment and celebrate our beloved manatees! Not only is it Earth Day/Month, but it’s also Springs Protection Awareness Month. This is a time to come together and make a meaningful impact on manatee conservation and their aquatic habitat.
We have a fabulous lineup of events where you can get involved, either by educating others about these gentle giants or helping with fundraising efforts. Many events are scheduled on weekends, with a few during the week, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re ready to step into a leadership role or prefer to be a supportive teammate, we’d love to have you join us! We’re also partnering with organizations across Florida for cleanups to further protect our precious waterways.
Check out our April events below, and sign up to volunteer if you’d like to join us!
