Billy's Creek Cleanup!
Billy's Creek is a creek in Fort Myers, Florida. It is a tributary of the Caloosahatchee River and contains mangrove vegetation. The creek was named after the Seminole chief Billy Bowlegs who was forced to surrender there by United States forces in 1858. Billy's Creek has its beginnings as meandering water from a canal and is unique in that it is a scenic urban waterway and part of the Calusa Blueway. Joint efforts to improve water quality from various government agencies allowed the construction of the Billy Creek Filter Marsh and adjacent nature park.
A clean neighborhood is a healthy neighborhood!
Billy Creek Filter Marsh Preserve was designed to filter water from the creek before it flows into the Caloosahatchee River. The Caloosahatchee River is in the top 10 most endangered rivers in the United States.
Therefore, we must work to keep the area clean of trash and debris so the water that enters the Caloosahatchee River is not contaminated.
Not only is this a reason for concern, but Billy Bowlegs Park is a place for children and their families to spend time together. The children need to have a clean and safe place to play.
