The above photo was taken at a recent Saturday volunteer outing with the SBEP Bay Guardians at Quick Point Preserve
on Longboat Key. Fifty-six student and adult volunteers helped remove invasive
plants and debris before enjoying a picnic lunch. The photo shows students with
Future Leaders
Academy in Sarasota. Other participating groups included
Martha B.
King Middle School in
Bradenton and
the Mote Marine Laboratory High School Intern Program.
Bay Guardians do more than help complete projects that enhance
our local preserves and Sarasota
Bay. They also learn
about local aquatic life, birds, habitat and the importance of conservation.
