Residential Site Visit in Lehigh Acres - Thursday, March 20 from 10 to noon
Site visits are a fantastic way to see native plants in action and interact with a group to plan the addition of more. While this location is at the far reaches of Lee County, the homeowner has graciously offered to provide some food and drink for the participants. These are not only enjoyable, but a great way to improve your plant identification skills. You will receive the address after you register for the event.

Some of our favorite Videos:
This video was created by FGCU Civic Engagement students who participated in our first Adopt-A-Burrow. These students weeded, planted, watered and nurtured the area around the burrow to maximize the habitat for the resident gopher tortoise. As they progressed with the project, the gopher tortoise started "supervising" their work by hanging out on the apron of the burrow. Their final project was creating this video.
In case you missed it, this was video captured by Philip Buchanan after a quick, but heavy January rainstorm at River Oaks Preserve.
