This community-supported measure is a monumental step forward in safeguarding these precious ecosystems for future generations. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to learn about the impactful conservation work happening right here in our local area and how you can be part of it. \nAbout the Presenter \nGreg Braun is a professional ecologist with over 25 years of experience in environmental projects in Florida\, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
