- Sierra Club Adventure Coast MeetUp on Protecting Our SpringsCollege of Central Florida, Wilton Simpson Citrus Campus, Lecanto, FL
Calling all springs lovers! Join Sierra Club Adventure Coast Group Citrus Conservation Chair Maxine Connor and Vice Chair Eugene Kelly who will speak on protecting our springs at the June 12th Adventure Coast Group Meetup. Public welcome.
Attend in person or remotely via Zoom. The meeting will run from 7—8pm at the Wilton Simpson Citrus Campus of the College of Central Florida, Building C4, Room 103, 3800 South Lecanto Highway, Lecanto, FL. 34461.
The Adventure Coast Group is seeking to restore water quality in our valuable natural springs. Plans are underway by the state to update the Basin Action Management Plans for area springs including Crystal River/Kings Bay, Homosassa/Chassahowitzka Springs Groups and Weeki Wachee. We want to work with Citrus County leaders and encourage them to consider revising their current fertilizer ordinance to include restrictions on rainy season applications to turf grass lawns. Hernando County amended their fertilizer ordinance last year and plans to implement their rainy season restrictions beginning this June. These and other initiatives will be discussed along with how you can get involved.
