SUMMARY:Vertical Oyster Gardens Workshops
DESCRIPTION:The LBC Lemon BayWatch “One Dock at a Time” program to promote vertical oyster gardening is gearing up to begin assembling oyster strands that will be hung from docks on the Lemon Bay waterfront.  Oyster team coordinator Sue Wills will present an oyster gardening information session on Saturday\, January 6\, 2024 at Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve at 9:00 a.m.  The one hour program is open to all interested LBC members and friends.  Please join us to learn about the life cycle of oysters\, the history of oyster harvesting in our area\, and the important role oysters play as living water filters in estuarine habitats.  Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and sign up to become an oyster gardener. \nAt 10:00 a.m. following the oyster information session\, Sue Wills will lead current oyster team members in an oyster shell stringing workshop to restock our supply of vertical oyster gardens that will be distributed in mid-January. \nIf you would like to have a vertical oyster garden for your dock\, please watch for a VOG installation request form in upcoming emails.  We are working to improve water quality “One Dock at a Time”!

SUMMARY:Guided Tour On Successional Changes and Salinity At Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this informative guided tour on “Succession” at Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve on Thursday January 18\, 2024 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. Succession  is a ‘nonseasonal’ directional change and continuous pattern of colonization and extinction at a  particular site by populations. Together we will explore the local replacement of populations in a regular sequence following the opening of a space that was created through the disturbance caused during the conservation efforts at Wildflower Preserve. We will examine this basic question of interest; Are patterns of replacement predictable and what is the underlying factors that accounts for these changes? \nDr. Bill Dunson will guide us through the successional process as we view the response of the Preserve to disturbances that open areas for invasion\, or reoccupation of certain plants and organisms. Please be sure to wear appropriate footwear\, sunscreen\, bug repellent\, and a hat. \n
