Volunteers sought to help maintain preserve
The Calusa Land Trust’s monthly work-fun party will be held Saturday, Nov. 14, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Taylor-Willow Lake Preserve in Bokeelia.
The 36-acre property contains mangroves, salt flats and a mature live oak/palmetto forest that hosts an active bald eagle nest. In addition, several new looping nature trails have been pioneered and maintenance on these hurricane-damaged pathways and the entrance strip will be the focus of the event.
The community is invited to participate.
“We are thankful to all our volunteers for your continued cleanup efforts at our designated work-fun parties,” the Calusa Land Trust reported.
A pizza lunch will be provided thanks to a grant from Extreme Weather Survivors.
Participants should wear appropriate clothing, and it is recommended to bring work gloves, bug spray, a water bottle, pruning tools and a camp chair.
The entry walkway to the preserve is located off Alcorn Street, just south of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal Church.
The Calusa Land Trust is an all-volunteer land conservancy that relies upon its members and the community to assist in the stewardship of its preserved lands.
