Even though every day is Earth Day at the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and we work year-round to protect and restore Florida’s natural resources, Earth Day is officially celebrated on April 22.
The best way to truly appreciate the importance of our work is to go outdoors! For Earth Day 2024, DEP coordinated with Florida State Parks to host nine regional cleanups for staff. Cleanups involved native landscaping, beach cleanups, trail maintenance and invasive plant removal.
