Calusa Land Trust to hold dual work/fun parties Saturday
The Calusa Land Trust will host two work/fun parties this Saturday, April 13, beginning at 9 a.m., and you can choose whether to volunteer on land at the Weir Preserve or by water via kayak for the annual Calusa Island Clean-up in Bokeelia.
The recently renamed Nancy Weir Mangrove Preserve (formerly the Dobbs Preserve) contains 76 acres along Matlacha Pass and consists mostly of mangrove forest except for its western border with a marked pedestrian trail with access bridges at both the north and south entrances. This preserve’s mission will concentrate on removal of invasive vegetation and hurricane downed foliage. Volunteers are requested to meet at the south easement entrance located at the corner of Sabal Ave and Tangerine Drive, in the Tropical Point subdivision.
Those that choose to participate in the Calusa Island Clean-up should meet at Carmen’s Kayaks located at the north end of Porto Bello St in Bokeelia (239-333-7332 for rentals)
The Calusa Land Trust is an all-volunteer land conservancy and, thus, relies upon its members and caring guests like you to steward its preserved lands. It is recommended that the Weir Preserve participants provide themselves with work gloves/clothing, pruning/chain saws and a happy spirit.
