Lots of things to do and see at Lemon Bay Preserve when spring is at its peak

On Saturday between 9 and 10:30 a.m. you’ll find that spring is not only in the air, it’s in the water too. Join Tonya and Steve Bramlage on a guided tour of the East side ponds to observe upland and aquatic plants to see how they thrive in a compact, dense environment. Wednesday, April 12 from 8 to 11 a.m. Ken Blackshaw will lead a social birding tour meeting at the kiosk area. Ken has been birding for nearly 70 years all over the world. He has written and edited numerous books, and was fortunate to have Edith Andrews as his mentor. Birders of all levels are encouraged. On Thursday, April 13 from 9 to 10 a.m. Maura Qualls and Ann Weaver will lead a monthly walking tour through the Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve Butterfly Habitat meeting at the Members entrance area. Join them as they examine the many plants, flowers, and pollinators that are present in the garden.
