Walkabout on Lido Key with E.G. Bennington, Horticulturist

To kick-off the start of one of our Strategic Community Investment Projects it necessitated a Nature Walk to capture pictures for the interns who will create the graphics for the program.  We covered a fair bit in limited time (check the map out, and no we didn't walk on water for some bizarre reason my GPS and Google Earth shows it this way!).

E.G. gave us all an in-depth education (he's a wealth of knowledge on this subject) on the Native Plants let alone the Invasive ones and the ongoing battle with the latter. Interestingly though there's a partnership of sorts with local citizens wanting the removal of Australian Pines and the Park too, benefitting both in the process let alone the habitat. On to the next stage....
