Work alongside professionals from the Everglades Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area as they spend a day of service working on our habitat restoration project at the Galaxy Sand Pine Preserve. Galaxy Elementary School students will walk the trail while we work alongside the professionals, giving them a glimpse of future career opportunities in the field of environmental science.This service outing focus is freeing trees and shrubs from the throes of love - love vine, that is, and digging up the dense stands of snake plant that make life difficult for our resident gopher tortoises.
Long sleeved shirts, hats, gloves, long pants and water are recommended. Closed-toe shoes are a must – thorns in the scrub!
If you have them, please bring hand tools (like clippers, loppers, hand trowels, and shovels). Gloves, a few shovels and trash grabbers will be provided.
