Engage Estero collaborates with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to help clean an approximate four-mile section of the Tamiami Trail. Each month, teams of volunteers clean areas of the highway between the Vines entrance (Breckenridge Road) north of Walmart and south to Coconut Road. During the recent weekend (January 11th), the team of volunteers collected 560 pounds of bagged litter.
The volunteers represented Rapallo, Pelican Sound, RiverCreek, Bella Terra, Copperleaf, The Vines, Grandezza, and Belle Lago. We thank all concerned for their efforts in keeping Estero such a lovely community to live in and visit. We also appreciate all of our Estero neighbors who participate in picking up litter in their neighborhood, on their walks, and in other Adopt a Road programs in our community.
Thank you all for being important to our vision for a beautiful and environmentally healthy Estero. You are all making a difference.
The Engage Estero team also wishes to express its sincere thanks to Marathon/Dos Amigos Authentic Mexican Grill, who have continued to provide ice and water to our volunteers to help them clean up Hwy 41 since the start of this initiative in October 2020.
At Engage Estero, we believe in the strength of the community. As a nonpartisan, nonpolitical nonprofit, we utilize evidence-based research to provide nonbiased information about community issues, empowering you to improve your quality of life.
