Over 215,000 Pounds of Trash and Debris Removed from Southwest Florida Beaches
Seagram’s Escapes recently partnered with Keep Florida Beautiful to plan widespread clean-up efforts across Southwest Florida beaches and shorelines. More than 7,500 people participated, removing 215K lbs. of trash and debris during events held March through July 2023. A $50,000 grant from Seagram’s Escapes funded the program that included inland and waterway cleanups that prioritized some of the areas hardest hit by recent hurricanes, especially Hurricane Ian. This is the second year that Seagram’s Escapes invested funding to positively impact coastal areas in Florida.
The funds were allocated through partnerships with four Keep Florida Beautiful affiliates: Keep Pinellas Beautiful, Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful, Keep Lee County Beautiful and Keep Charlotte Beautiful. The investment supported more than 1,000 projects across the state including waterway clean ups, sustainable plantings, and invasive species removal.
