NEWS RELEASE: Grant for native plants - Volunteers

We are pleased to announce that the Southeast chapter of the American Littoral Society is the recipient of a $5000 grant from the Community Foundation of Sarasota, made possible through the Robert R. Harlan and Susan H. Lowy Harlan Fund.

The grant is for the purchase and nurture of native plants and trees for a variety of coastal restoration projects in Sarasota County.  Our first goal is to restock our native plant nursery at Osprey Preserve.

We have an immediate need for volunteers for nursery work.  This is at your convenience, both when and how long.  Call John Sarkozy at 966-7308 for information.

Need for Active Volunteers

As an all-volunteer group, we have a continuing need for people to help on existing projects and events as well as starting up new ones.  Some current activities are in jeopardy and some earlier activities have gone defunct because we don’t have the people to handle them .  Take a look below and see what you think might interest you;

Restoration work - First Saturday of the month, half a day either removing exotics or planting or nursery work - Call John for information (941) 966-7308.

Picnic - Twice a year probably at Blackburn Point or you choose the place.  Saturday.

Exhibits - A few time a year; Earth Day for example - Prepare a new (simple)exhibit and get a core of volunteers to serve at the exhibit (usually outdoors).  

Marine Conservation Guru - Attend meetings of the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program, SWFMD Environmental Advisory Committee, ECOSWF, Charlotte Harbor NEP etc .  Follow what is happening what is happening on the marine scene. 

Do you have an idea for an activity and are you willing to develop it?  

Think about finding a friend (or friends) to help you.  It will make sustaining an effort much easier.

Look forward to hearing from you.
