Help improve Gopher Tortoise Habitat
Hernando Audubon and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will be removing invasive, non-native rattlebox plants to improve critical habitat for Gopher Tortoises and the species that depend on their burrows. Please help! Bring a pair of leather or garden gloves, bottled water, bug spray, and sunscreen. We recommend wearing long pants, long-sleeve shirts, and shoes appropriate for walking both on and off trail in the sand and in areas with tall grasses and shrubs. For more information and to RSVP, contact Chinsegut Conservation Center at 352-754-6722 or [email protected].
