Sign Petition: Save Our Owl

 Recently St Petersburg began to test less toxic rodenticides, moving away from those known for killing local owls.  Let's get      everyone to change! 

 If you have not heard: read/watch the story of how the tragic loss of an Owl family in Safety Harbor moved the local community  to action, significantly impacting our local area to make changes that protects all raptors in our area.  

 And how Great Horned Owls have returned to Eckerd College Campus!


Smell Something/Say Something - Child's Park

This is not OK. If you live in or visit the Childs Park area of St Petersburg and smell something, say something, every time.

The problem speaks to a fundamental issue, the right to breathe clean air: www.bit.ly/smellsomething2022 or call the Pinellas County Air Quality Division at (727) 464-4422.

Kudos to the Childs Park Neighborhood Association and all who have worked on finally figuring out what is causing the foul order in the Childs Park Neighborhood of St Petersburg. 

Big Thanks to Spectrum Bay News 9 for exploring the issue in their series "Justice for All: The Right To Clean Air."
