Volunteers will help the Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) remove invasive plants such as Oyster Plant and maintain trails throughout this privately owned pineland. This is a great opportunity to come learn more about the imperiled pine rockland habitat including plant identification and what restoration efforts go into restoring this kind of site. With less than 2% of this unique habitat left outside of Everglades National Park, restoration efforts on this habitat are incredibly important for the plants and animals that call this habitat home.
We will provide the exact address when volunteers RSVP, since this is being held at a privately owned pineland and we want to respect their privacy by not making the address public.
We will provide gloves, tools and light refreshments. Volunteers are advised to wear long pants and closed toed shoes for safety.
Questions can be sent to Alexander Blochel at admin@regionalconservation.org or 305-504-1690.

About The Institute for Regional Conservation

Mission Statement
A private non-profit organization, The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) is dedicated to the protection, restoration, and long-term management of biodiversity on a regional basis, and to the prevention of regional extinctions of rare plants, animals and ecosystems.
Description
Based in Florida, USA, IRC works on conservation research and action throughout South Florida, the Caribbean and beyond. Our work is premised on an innovative idea of conservation that seeks to protect and restore viable populations of all plant and animal species within a region, rather than simply focusing on charismatic animals or plants with narrow global ranges.
