We kicked off day one of State of the South: Jacksonville with a boat tour of the St.

Johns River through Downtown! 🚤 It was an amazing way to learn about Jacksonville’s history, policies, challenges, and possibilities—all while experiencing the river’s natural beauty and wildlife firsthand. Special thanks to our tour guides, Ennis Davis of @thejaxsonmag and Jimmy Orth of @sjriverkeeper.
