SUMMARY:Plant This\, Not That!
DESCRIPTION:Plant This\, Not That!\nAlternatives to Common Invasive Plants \nInvasive plants are non-native plants that have been introduced to the state (either intentionally or unintentionally) and have the potential to cause harm to the environment\, economy\, or human health. These plants often outcompete native species\, disrupting natural ecosystems and causing various problems. \nMany common landscape plants in central Florida are actually invasive species that are shared between unknowing home gardeners and sold commercially (because they may not be a problem elsewhere)\, adding to their spread. \nCome and learn about these common invasive plant species to avoid\, and which species should be used in your home landscape instead! \n\n>> GET TICKETS <<< \n\n \nWhat you do in your landscape matters. From the fertilizers you apply to the water you use\, your gardening choices can have an impact on land\, water\, wildlife\, and the overall well-being of Florida’s residents. \nThe Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ (FFL) Program is here to help you learn how to have healthy and beautiful landscapes that protect Florida’s natural resources by following nine science-based principles: \n\nRight Plant\, Right Place\nWater Efficiently\nFertilize Appropriately\nMulch\nAttract Wildlife\nManage Yard Pests Responsibly\nRecycle Yard Waste\nReduce Stormwater Runoff\nProtect the Waterfront\n\nA Florida-Friendly landscape can be designed to look the way you want\, fit the aesthetics of your community\, and suit your lifestyle\, while being environmentally sustainable. Join us to learn how! \nThis lecture is presented by Kate Kaste\, UF/IFAS Extension Pasco County\, FFL Program Manager. \n>>> GET TICKETS <<<

SUMMARY:Birding Myakka River State Park
DESCRIPTION:Note that this is a mid-week trip! We will meet at 8:00 am at the Myakka River State Park Ranger Station on Wednesday.  Take the first right into the parking area after you pay the entrance fee ($4 for single occupant vehicle\, $6 for up to 8 occupants). We will check the river there\, then drive and walk to various locations in the park where incoming migrants seem to be congregating.\n\nThis park has 37 miles of hiking trails\, but we will only cover a small portion of the park. We will mostly stay within the 7 miles of drivable trail. Walking is easy on the boardwalk but may be harder in other areas of the park.  Additionally\, there is a canopy walk that we can explore if it is open\, but it would be based on the desire of the group.\n\nBring water\, snacks\, insect repellent and lunch if you want to picnic in the park. A hat is recommended since we will probably be in unshaded areas at least part of the time.\n\nContact trip leader Mary Keith at mary.keith@tampaaudubon.org  to register and receive updates.

SUMMARY:Terra Ceia Preserve State Park
DESCRIPTION:Located just over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Manatee County\, Terra Ceia Preserve State Park is 2\,000 acres of mangrove forests\, freshwater and saltwater wetlands\, and uplands. Much of the preserve is in various stages of habitat restoration that is intended to return agricultural land to its natural and ecologically diverse condition. Park trails are open to foot traffic only and accessible from park gates. \nWe plan to meet at the Hightower Trail Entrance. Hightower_trailmap_georef.pdf. Walking is easy and will mostly be flat. Bring water\, snacks\, and insect repellent.  A hat is recommended since we will probably be in unshaded areas at least part of the time. \nThere are no restrooms at the park.\n \nContact TAS Field Trip Coordinator Logan Lane logan.lane@tampaaudubon.org for more information. \nImportant! Pre-registration is required\, and participation is limited. Please do not attend this or any Tampa Audubon Society events if you have flu\, cold\, or covid symptoms. Tampa Audubon is committed to reducing the spread of illnesses. The health and safety of our members is of the highest priority.
