Join the Institute for Regional Conservation with a Field Trip opportunity to learn all about the State-Endangered Beach Jacquemontia at Delray Municipal Beach. On Wednesday, May 22nd from 9 am to 11 am. Join IRC, Delray Parks and Sustainability Department, along with Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden for a wonderful opportunity to learn about our restoration efforts to conserve and restore habitat for Beach Jacquemontia. At Delray Municipal Beach there is a thriving population of this species so we are inviting the public to come out and learn all about the efforts in this multi-agency project. We will have a brief talk and panel showcasing the work that has been on-going. Then we will walk the dunes to see the beautiful flowering plant in action. Then we invite the participants to join us for a second viewing a Jacquemontia population over at Atlantic Dunes Park. We will have limited seating via a shuttle bus. More details TBD.
We hope you will join us for a fun educational event at the beautiful beaches of Delray Beach.
We will meet at the pavilion at Delray Municipal Beach at 9am that is located on a1a and Atlantic Ave. After introductions and our panel discussion we will have a short walk over to view the Beach Jacquemontia. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
Once you sign up, more details will be emailed closer to the date of the event.

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.
