November’s Adopt a Highway Volunteers Clean Up!
Engage Estero is proud to kick off the 2025–26 road cleanup season, continuing a five-year community tradition led by Julie Yellig and supported by dedicated volunteers across Estero.
This initiative began in 2020 with a simple idea: a cleaner, healthier, more beautiful community. Since then, the results have been extraordinary:
Highlights
- 680 pounds of litter collected this month.
- 12.5 tons of litter removed since the program began in 2020
- Volunteers from Rapallo, Pelican Sound, RiverCreek, Bella Terra, Copperleaf, Grandezza, Shadow Wood, The Vines, Estero Pointe, Riverwoods, and Belle Lago
- Continued support from Marathon/Dos Amigos Authentic Mexican Grill, providing water and ice for volunteers
- Extra thanks to neighbors, walkers, businesses, and all Adopt-a-Road participants who help keep Estero clean year-round
Every effort—big or small—helps preserve Estero’s natural beauty and strengthens the spirit of our community.
