SUMMARY:The Manasota Beach Club Monday Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nIn 2017\, Sarasota Bay Watch started a shellfish restoration initiative focused on the southern hard-shell clam (Mereneriacampechiensis). The southern hard-shell clam was once abundant in Sarasota Bay\, but today populations have dwindled to just a few locations. A single clam can filter 20 gallons of water per day. The bivalves\, along with other filter feeders\, are crucial to the Sarasota base ecosystem and water quality. \nDr. Lasso de la Vega serves as a board member and advisor to Sarasota Bay Watch\, an action-oriented grassroots\, non-profit organization dedicated to restoring coastal ecosystems through citizen participation. Sarasota Bay Watch is committed to bringing the population up by deploying more than a million clams in 2023 in restoration cells throughout the Bay. Dr. Lasso de la Vega\, holds a master’s degree in aquaculture and worked closely with Lee County Hyacinth Control District in Fort Myers FL for 30 years controlling aquatic weeds and monitoring water quality as a biologist. \n\nDr. Lasso de la Vega also holds a research doctorate in environmental education and is dedicated to teaching environmental science\, biology\, and microbiology at Southwest Florida Universities. Dr. Lasso de la Vega actively serves as a member of the Florida Sea Grant Advisory Board\, the Coastland Heartland National Estuary Partnership Technical and Citizen Committee\, and the Florida Lake Management Society. LBC members are invited to enjoy lunch and attend this upcoming lecture at the Manasota Beach Club on Monday February 19\, 2024\, by calling 941-474-2614 to reserve a spot. Tickets are $35 and includes a gourmet lunch.

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

SUMMARY:Rock Garden Workshop at Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first rock garden workshop at Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve 3321 Gasparilla Pines Boulevard Englewood Fl at 9:00am on May 2\, 2023. We will provide paint\, brushes\, some cocktail napkins\, mod podge for decoupage\, and a couple different types of acrylic pens for group use. Of course\, you are welcome to and may want to bring your personal supplies as well. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring rocks or shells to decorate. River rocks are ideal\, because they take paint well and are easier to draw on. Parchment paper is also good to work on \, so be sure to bring a sheet or two along with you if you wish. We will have paper towels\, garbage bags\, and a few coloring books to use as examples for drawing. \nDecoupage takes a bit of time to dry\, so our workshop instructor Bonnie Stuhlmiller will take these items home to coat with spray. Participants will need to make arrangements for pick up or donation of finished work to be used at the Labyrinth on the Hill rock garden. Everyone is welcome to bring along creative ideas and to participate.
