ECO TIPS EGMONT KEY PICK UP TRASH On any given beach day, the Baskets for Beaches program encourages trash pickup with bright yellow baskets. Or join Keep Pinellas Beautiful, Ocean Allies and other community organizations for a morning of service on Clearwater Beach. The cleanups gather from 9 to 11 a.m. on the second Friday of every month, from January through October, at Bob Heilman’s Beachcomber. Cleanup supplies are provided. SAVE THE SEA TURTLES During sea turtle nesting season, from May 1 through Oct. 31, make it easier for baby sea turtles to find their way to the Gulf by knocking down sandcastles and filling in sand pits at the end of your beach day. Clear the way; you might even have fun while you’re at it! BROOKER CREEK NATURE PRESERVE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER VISITSTPETECLEARWATER.COM 53
