Gift for Native Plants
We are pleased to announce that the Southeast chapter of the American Littoral Society is the recipient of a $5000 gift 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. -- Dave Bulloch
