1 Comment

 
12/29/20 @ 12:30 p.m.

The Nassau County Department of Health has issued the following message regarding the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine:

"Following the initial distributions to high-risk frontline health care workers and long-term care facility staff and residents, we will work to provide the vaccine to additional priority groups, to include older adults over 65.   

As of December 29th we started delivering vaccines to our emergency (EMS) responders, urgent care providers and other health care providers with direct patient contact.  Once that is complete, we plan to provide the vaccine to the priority group of older adults over 65.  We do not have an exact timeline for providing the vaccine to these priority groups but we are committed to providing the vaccine to each priority group and to the general public as quickly as possible.   Our plans are dependent on vaccine supply and delivery.   
 
Updates on timelines for the general public will be provided as those plans become available. Please monitor the OneNassau website (www.onenassau.com) from Nassau County Emergency Management for updates.  As this is a rapidly evolving process, we appreciate your patience.
 
In the interim, please follow the recommended safety measures".

If you have any questions, please contact the Nassau County Department of Health directly at (904) 875-6100.

Keep Nassau Beautiful Hosts Free Tree Drive-through Events
 
In celebration of Florida Arbor Day Keep Nassau Beautiful plans to distribute up to 500 free trees to Nassau County residents.

Beginning Saturday, January 16 and on subsequent Saturdays in January Keep Nassau Beautiful (KNB) volunteers and partner organizations will be holding three free-tree drive-through events where residents will pick-up one or two free trees to be planted in Nassau County. 

Individuals, businesses, and organizations may reserve free trees by completing two easy steps; reviewing UF/IFAS tree fact sheets for the available species and viewing an educational video led by UF/IFAS Nassau County Extension.  Once the on-line learning is complete residents will be ready to complete the reservation form to select their preferred tree species and pick-up location.  Completion of the reservation form is required 72 hours prior to the drive-through event.  Nassau County proof of residency and a KNB free-tree voucher are required to pick up one or two of our 3-gallon size trees.  Residents are also asked to help the tree get its best chance at a healthy long life by following a watering schedule until the tree gets established.

Free tree drive-through events are scheduled as follows:  Fernandina Beach, Saturday, Jan. 16, Callahan, Saturday, Jan. 23, and Yulee, Saturday, Jan. 30.  All events will be held between 9am – Noon.  Details and reservation form at https://keepnassaubeautiful.org/news-and-events/.

The project is being generously funded through dedicated grants, fundraising activities and private donations.  Liberty Landscape Supply sponsors the supply of up to 7-species of trees for the drive-through events. 

“Trees are essential to addressing the negative effects of climate change, maintaining wildlife habitat, retaining property values and providing aesthetic beauty,” said Kelley McCarter, KNB Board Secretary and Project Chair, “Keep Nassau Beautiful is looking forward to celebrating Florida Arbor Day with these free-tree drive-through events.”

For more information KNB@KeepNassauBeautiful.org or 904-261-0165. 
Keep Nassau Beautiful, Inc. is working to inspire, educate, and equip individuals, groups, businesses and governments to take action to make Nassau County a place where residents, visitors and wildlife can thrive and experience the beauty of Nassau County.    www.keepnassaubeautiful.org
