Samsons Island Park Workdays
Samsons Island Nature Park is a 52 acre island owned by the City of Satellite Beach located in the Indian River Lagoon. Since 1991, city volunteers and staff have worked diligently to re-vegetate this spoil island to provide improved habitat for local flora and fauna. City workdays recruit individuals, families and local organizations to lend a hand with park duties that suit their ability level. Special workdays are sponsored in the Fall and Spring (call 773-6458 for dates). However, those interested in volunteering on a regular basis can join the weekly Sunday workday, leaving at 1pm from the SB Fire Department Dock. For more information, contact Kerry Stoms, SB Rec. Dept. Director, at 773-6458 or kstoms@satellitebeach.org

Hightower Beach Park in Satellite Beach!
Your family might wish to discover the educational boardwalk located at Hightower Beach Park, HWY AIA. Signage along the boardwalk provides information on whales, turtles, birds, our famous worm rock and much more. The message empowers those reading it to make a difference in the lives of each animal and gives instructions on how simple actions can result in big changes.

Satellite Beach is a recycling-conscious community!
Check out the recycle area behind the David R. Schechter Community Center, 1089 S. Patrick Drive. There are bins for glass, plastic, aluminum, cardboard and paper products. Inside the lobby, we regularly collect items that can be used by others such as eyeglasses (recycled by the SB Lions Club), coffee mugs (recycled by the SB Womans Club for Daily Bread), greeting card fronts, bottle caps (recycled by Brev. Montessori School, SB) and cell phones for soldiers. View the full list of recycling opportunities @ www.satellitebeachrecreation.org
