Thanks to the incredible teamwork of our volunteers, 360 pounds of litter were removed from our community this month alone—now that’s impact!
This month’s volunteers proudly came from Rapallo, Pelican Sound, RiverCreek, Bella Terra, Copperleaf, and The Vines, showing what’s possible when neighbors come together with a shared purpose.
A big shout-out to Marathon/Dos Amigos Authentic Mexican Grill, our go-to water and ice provider once again this season—your continued support keeps our volunteers energized and moving. We’re also deeply grateful to the residents who volunteer through the Village and Lee County’s Adopt-A-Road program, helping to keep Lee County beautiful and supporting environmental efforts across the region.
And let’s not forget the everyday heroes: residents who pick up litter on their regular walks, and local businesses that go the extra mile to beautify the areas around their properties.
Every bag collected, every piece picked up, and every hour volunteered truly matters. Together, these efforts are making a visible, lasting difference in Estero’s environmental health—and we couldn’t be more appreciative.
