Esmeralda is now at Limestone Creek!
Esmeralda and her friends Harry the Hammerhead and Danny the Angler Fish are Surface 71’s sculptures made out of trash from our ecosystem! In the past, they’ve been to the South Florida Science Center, the Palm Beach County History Museum, and Loggerhead Marina. Right now, they’re at Limestone Creek Elementary School, where students can earn service hours through various volunteer opportunities!
