On April 21st, Lemon Bay Conservancy paddlers Charlie Woodruff and Beth McKinley led a tour to Buttonwood and Rookery Islands to visit the first properties to be conserved by LBC over 50 years ago.
Paddlers were treated to close-up encounters with a young manatee, several dolphins, and a green heron. Observing numerous sheepshead and snook darting about delighted all. It was a great way to celebrate an early Earth Day!
