Join Manatee County Natural Resources for a planting party at Duette Preserve! We need volunteers to help plant 24,000 wiregrass plugs. These native grasses are an extremely important understory plant that provides food for gopher tortoises and many species of birds. All volunteers will receive a free lunch. Come for the planting and stay for the food and old Florida views. Program suitable for all ages. Volunteers 16 and younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Volunteers should dress to be outdoors in full sun - bring sunscreen and plenty of water.

Reservations are required. For more information please contact shelby.reece@mymanatee.org.
