Manatee Tank: A Youth Climate Action Pitch Competition for Sustainability

@ Timucuan Parks Foundation will be at Jacksonville Zoo on Oct. 24 for the Manatee Tank: A Youth Climate Action Pitch Competition for Sustainability. The competition is a partnership between the City of Jacksonville, Jacksonville University, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, and Think Bold and will be held on the International Day of Climate Action. Individuals, ages 15 to 24, were challenged to develop projects that will strengthen Jacksonville’s sustainability and resilience efforts. Finalists will pitch their ideas for a chance to win a micro-grant to complete the project. TPF will be set up at the event to showcase our work for the community and Jacksonville’s wilderness parks and preserves. We will also support our partners at PossAbilities Plus and UF/IFAS, who are working with two young people from PossAbilities Plus who will pitch an idea for a native plant restoration and bird-friendly art project connecting Castaway Island Preserve and PossAbilities Plus in Atlantic Beach. The City of Jacksonville’s Manatee Tank: A Youth Pitch Competition for Sustainability initiative is funded by the Bloomberg Philanthropies Youth Climate Action Fund.
