The celebration doesn't end when the fireworks do...

Every year, the day after Independence Day is one of the biggest beach cleanup days of the year. Once the crowds head home, thousands of pieces of litter are left behind, threatening our wildlife, waterways, and the beauty of our coastline.

On Sunday, July 5, we're inviting our community to be part of the solution.

📍 52nd Street, Holmes Beach
⏰ 9:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M.

We'll provide all cleanup supplies, you just bring closed-toe shoes, water, sunscreen, and a willingness to make a difference.

Stay tuned for more details, and mark your calendars. Let's show our beaches a little love after the holiday. 🌊♻️

5th of July Beach Cleanup | KMB Join us as we remove post independence day litter and help protect our beaches, wildlife, and waterways.

🌊♻️ Join us on June 27th as Keep Manatee Beautiful partners with Suncoast Aqua Ventures for the Trash Tri-Fecta Cleanup!

We’re looking for shoreline walkers, kayakers, and small boat volunteers to help remove litter from some of our area’s most beautiful coastal habitats.

📍 Leffis Key Preserve
📍 Sunny Shores – Cortez

🕗 8 AM – 1 PM

Supplies provided. Lunch available for volunteers.

Together, we can protect our waterways, wildlife, and coastline—one piece of litter at a time. 💙

Register through Suncoast Aqua Ventures and we’ll see you there!

🌿 DID YOU KNOW? 🌿

If just 50% of Americans replaced their front lawns with native plants, it would create the equivalent of a 20-million-acre park for pollinators, birds, and wildlife.

Here in Manatee County, we have dozens of beautiful native and Florida-friendly plants that can thrive in our landscapes while supporting local ecosystems. From vibrant Firebush and Beautyberry to iconic Sabal Palms and Sea Oats, these plants provide food, shelter, and habitat for the wildlife that call Florida home.

Native landscaping can:
🐝 Support pollinators
🐦 Feed and shelter birds
💧 Reduce water use
🌊 Protect local waterways
🌿 Increase biodiversity

You don’t have to replace your entire yard to make a difference. Even adding a few native plants can help create a healthier, more resilient Florida.

Which Florida native is your favorite? Let us know below! ⬇️
