Our guest on Monday, Sept. 13, 2010 will be Mike Owen, Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park Biologist. We are planning a visit to the park in October.
You can learn more about the park at http://www.floridastateparks.org/fakahatcheestrand/
Before listening to Mike or visiting the Fakahatchee you might want to brush up on Florida native orchids at http://www.flnativeorchids.com
There are no quizzes involved in these activities
Our October meeting is our annual fund-raising auction. Action starts early at 7:00, so come before then to check out the hundreds of plants you will be able to buy.
The bus is filling up fast so if you want to come along let us know. Bring lunch, water, insect repellent, and a change of clothes! There will be a two hour swamp slog and a couple of hours on the boardwalk. $75 for trip and all the mud you want to bring home with you.
We leave Cardinal Gibbons at 8:00 AM and return around 5:00 PM.
Allen Cogar is our Program Coordinator this year and so far all the programs he’s arranged have been great. He’s working on a special speaker for November but it isn’t firmed up quite yet… come back later for details or follow us on Facebook for updates!
