Join a Sarasota County Environmental Specialist to learn about strategies used to protect and manage natural area preserves when they're surrounded by the suburbs. During the walk, you'll see examples of some of the habitats found onsite and learn about the measures being taken to keep them healthy and functional for the wildlife species found here. In addition, participants will learn about some of the challenges involved with managing fire-dependent
habitats, invasive plants and animals and the impacts of park visitors and pets. For details, call 941-861-5000, 311 or or email parksonline@scgov.net.
