This is a cool project intended to 1) motivate our community to walk and pick up trash in our urban neighborhoods, 2) increase activity on our beautiful but underused public River Walk, and 3) clean up the banks and waterways of our St. Johns River. The folks at RAM have already demonstrated that they have great volunteerism and infrastructure in place, as well as excellent large-scale events expertise. I'm quite sure they'd partner with groups like The Riverkeeper to make this a meaningful, worthwhile expenditure of grant funds.  Please vote!
