Learn to Identify Native Plants by Participating in Citizen Science

Join the Mangrove Chapter, Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center (CHEC), and Charlotte County on its monthly plant surveys at Cedar Point Environmental Park in Englewood, FL.  These surveys record both blooming and seeding plant species along designated trails. These data provide land managers and educational professionals with information for climate-related projects and other important issues. Plus, it is a fun and educational morning learning new plant species and meeting new people with similar interests!

The Chapter welcomes new people (membership is nice but not necessary) to help with these surveys. Opportunities are offered two weekday mornings per month, usually from 9:00 AM to approximately 11:00 AM at Cedar Point Environmental Park, 2300 Placida Road, Englewood, FL. Specific days each month are determined by the availability of volunteers. Wear comfortable shoes that can get wet, and bring sunscreen and bug spray, as needed. We look forward to meeting each of you.
