I received this info the other day and I am willing to give bonus points if you volunteer at one of the sites.
You just have to either bring a picture of you participating and how well you did or send me a digital photo of you and your harvest. Please consider helping the environment.
AIR POTATO ROUNDUP
When: Saturday, March 2, 2013
Where: Various sites throughout Jacksonville
(But if you can, please join TTPF at:
- Howell Park in Atlantic Beach,
- National Park Service's Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, or
- City of Jacksonville's Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park)
What: Air potatoes are an invasive species that take over urban landscapes. Right now the vines have died back and it's a good time to remove the "potatoes". This is a GREAT project for ALL ages. Prizes are awarded for the two biggest potatoes found in the county! (At Howell Park, we will also give a prize for the funniest-looking potato and the hairiest potato!)
Other: Please wear closed-toed shoes, and bring work gloves, if you have them. Children 13 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
