United Way Annual Day of Caring  

Recently NWFLAP staff participated in the 32nd annual Day of Caring Event organized by United Way of Northwest Florida. We hosted a group of volunteers to help us with our first planting event of the season! On Day of Caring, 68 projects and 713 volunteers came together across two counties to make an impact in our local community. We partnered once again with Pensacola Energy to kick off planting season on the islands of Project Greenshores. 12 men planted just over 1,000 Juncus roemerianus in record time! This was our fourth year partnering with Pensacola Energy. In previous years, they’ve helped with trash cleanups at this site, but this time the group was really excited to get to plant here this year. They loved it and have already asked to come back to help with another planting. We are looking forward to next year!
