Groundwork Jacksonville said it will supply gloves, trash bags, and water. All they are asking for is volunteers who can spare two hours. They do advise wearing closed-toe shoes, long pants, and a hat as protection from the sun, and to bring a reusable water bottle.

The S-Line is a 4.8-mile rails-to-trails multi-use path that begins at Myrtle Avenue near State Street and continues northeast through Durkeeville and Springfield ending behind Norwood plaza in Brentwood.
