Trail Spruce Up at the Refuge

The Foundation held its annual Trail Spruce-Up at the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, in Boynton Beach on January 31. Our job is to help prepare the Refuge for the upcoming Everglades Day Festival. Volunteers removed non-native plants, picked up litter, added meleleuca mulch to a few spots and cleaned up several public spaces. The weather was wonderful and our volunteers were enthusiastic! Special thanks to our roving naturalist--Dr. Tom Poulson and to Chris Lockhart of Habitat Specialists, Inc for providing team leadership and a boardwalk-talk!. Thanks to all of you who joined us--we will see you on Everglades Day--February 7, 2009!

One of our young volunteers made a video about the Spruce-Up. Click here to view:
