PLANT A TREE WITH US!

Our team holds frequent volunteer events to train community stewards to protect, nourish, and monitor the native habitat so it will thrive and so that its waters will remain healthy to feed a healthy gulf. Projects include hands-on habitat upkeep, invasive species removal, monitoring water quality and flow, native plantings, cataloguing native plants for Dr. Earle’s private collection (to be donated to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History). We work with local organizations including Keep Pinellas Beautiful, Native Plant Society, KnowBe4, the City of Dunedin, local native plant nurseries, and more.

MARCH 8: GARDENING DAY A SUCCESS!
Thank you to all the participants! We refreshed garden boxes and cleaned out nearly half a ton of invasive vegetation. LECT, C4OE, KnowBe4, KPB, and Majeed Discovery Garden made a great team. Even an ibis joined us.

Learn about the delicate balance between waters flowing into and out from the Gulf. With the local Scubanauts group and others we walk the shore, swim, snorkel, and scuba to know and help the waters and wildlife inside out—and to make a difference while getting wet.
