✨ 10 years ago, Groundwork Jacksonville was established to tackle the environmental challenges facing our urban core. What began with the vision of dedicated residents and community leaders has blossomed into a movement focused on cleaning up polluted areas, revitalizing neighborhoods, and giving people more of a reason to get outside with the Emerald Trail! We’re proud of our progress in transforming contaminated land, restoring waterways, 🌿 and enhancing the quality of life in Historic Springfield, Eastside, and beyond. Thank you to everyone who believed in the power of change!
