Jacksonville Beach, FL — After nine years of inspiring environmental action and education across Northeast Florida, Beaches Go Green will conclude its nonprofit operations at the end of April, marking the close of a powerful chapter of community-driven impact.
Since its founding, Beaches Go Green has engaged thousands of students, volunteers, and community members through hands-on programs, student-led clubs, and environmental initiatives focused on reducing plastic pollution and promoting healthier, more sustainable lifestyles.
As part of its final legacy, Beaches Go Green will donate more than $60,000 of its remaining funds to support the protection of approximately four acres of land along Bogey Creek in Duval County—helping preserve one of the last remaining natural spaces of its kind and the only public preserve managed by the North Florida Land Trust in this area.
This conservation effort will help ensure that Bogey Creek remains a protected habitat for local wildlife, including turtles, birds, and other native species, while also providing a natural space for the community to explore, walk, kayak, and reconnect with nature for generations to come.

“While this chapter is coming to a close, we are incredibly proud of what this community has accomplished together,” said Anne Marie Moquin, Founder of Beaches Go Green. “Over the past nine years, we’ve seen firsthand the power of people coming together to protect and care for our environment. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers, the generosity of our sponsors, and the ongoing support of our community. We are deeply grateful to every individual and organization who believed in our mission and helped bring it to life. By investing our remaining resources into permanent land conservation, we hope to create a lasting impact that continues well beyond Beaches Go Green.”
Beaches Go Green encourages the community to carry this momentum forward by continuing to support local environmental efforts, make mindful, healthy choices, and stay connected to the natural spaces that make Northeast Florida so special. The work doesn’t end here; it lives on through each person who chooses to protect and preserve it.
