Third Annual Eco-Day at Madison Blue

The NFSA and the NACD will be sponsoring the third annual cleanup at Madison Blue Springs State Park on Saturday, March 9, 2013. If you can spare the time, join us as we help perform clean-up and maintenance at one of our favorite dive sites. Plan to meet at the park between 8:30 and 9:00AM. We will work for 3 to 4 hours and then serve burgers and dogs to all participants. Refreshments will be provided too. There should be time for a dive if you wish. In the past, we have had non-divers as well as divers and family members of all ages. There will be something for everyone.

We have not worked out all clean-up activities with park management but will post as we determine. If you can help, pm or email me or Kelly Jessop at [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected].

We look forward to seeing you on March 9th!

Nice! I hope I can make it.

Hi James, we would enjoy your company and help!

I'm just wondering if this is being sponsored by Nestle again this year?

Nestle is not a sponsor,but some of their employees may participate as they did last year. People who work at the plant,also are users of the park,and wanted to help out since they live in the community.

I'll likely be there

That is awesome. You and Chris provided a tremendous help last year,but on another note you guys really give back to the cave diving community with volunteering your time for worthwhile causes. It is noticed and much appreciated.

Mat, just saw this. I too thank you, You have been a great volunteer over the last few years this clean-up, the CDS Workshop, the Wakulla Dive Club, and probably a lot of other stuff too. Thank you for your help.

Hi all, just a bump for the Third Annual Eco-Day clean-up. If you are interested, pm or email Kelly or me. I think we have around 20 volunteers now. We will meet with park management this Saturday to determine what needs to be done. Also, we have some great door prizes that have been donated by area dive shops, manufacturers, and organizations.

To quote Kelly Jessop and Jim Wyatt, park management takes notice of and appreciates your efforts to better the park systems. This is a great way to improve our landowner relationships.

If you cannot make it on March 9 (or if you can), please consider giving Cheryl Doran and Tony Flaris help at the NSS-CDS Cathedral Clean-up on Saturday April 20.

I plan to be there and will bring chain saw and weed eater. Not yet sure if daughter & granddaughter will make it this year - possible conflict.

Thanks John,

Like Mat, you have been a huge help since the initial clean-up in 2010. We appreciate you being there for the parks. See you in March.

Thanks all, we appreciate your help

To repeat what Kelly siad, thanks to all who have signed up so far. We look forward to seeing you at the cleanup. At the last NFSA BOD meeting, park personnel expressed their appreciation too. If you are interested and have not signed up, contact Kelly or me.

I will be there and have a pile of equipment we use for Indian and ASA. Once you guys have the meeting let me know what to bring.

Also, Lesley will be in tow and possibly Mandy if I can get her replacement at the shop.

Steve, great news and thank you. I know we will need wheel barrows and shovels. We found out this morning that the park is getting a load of crushed limestone which I think will be used for the steps. We are still trying to determine what else the park needs help with. I will be in Wakulla on Saturday evening/Sunday morning. I had thought about dropping by the store to say hello.

Sandy,
When you get a list of things needed--let me know. I should have a fair amount of room (even after I load all of my tanks :D ).

Will do - thanks.

Don't forget we have some great door prizes. Thank you to Dive Rite for the $250 gift certificate
