Contact: Lynne Flannery (863) 699-3742
On Saturday, Oct. 7, the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Ridge Ranger volunteers
will be lending Mother Nature a hand at two locations along the
Lake Wales Ridge.
Polk County residents can help remove brush in
Auburndale at FWC’s Lake Blue Scrub preserve. Residents in
Highlands County can join the crew to help remove torpedo grass
at Archbold Biological Station in southern Lake Placid.
Volunteers will meet at 8:30 for both projects and finish about
noon.
“The Lake Wales Ridge is home to plants and
animals found nowhere else on Earth. Help ensure the survival of
these natural treasures by volunteering for conservation with
the Ridge Rangers,” said Lynne Flannery, Ridge Rangers
Coordinator.
To register for these projects and learn more
about the Ridge Rangers Volunteer Program, contact Lynne
Flannery at (863) 699-3742 today.
