Since last fall, over 250 baby native pine trees acquired from the Florida Forestry Service have been under the babysitting care of members of the Calusa Land Trust and the Pine Island Garden Club. With the return of the rainy season, some 40 volunteers on June 21 grabbed their shovels for their planting at four CLT preserves. Also assisting with the effort were Matlacha/Pine Island firefighters demonstrating their water-dousing talents.
