February 7th Service Outing
9:00 - 11:30 AM
301 Galaxy Way, Boynton Beach, FL 33435

This is your opportunity to help the habitat restoration project at Galaxy Sand Pine Preserve in Boynton Beach. We will work on the shaded nature trail which will be used by the second graders of Galaxy Elementary before they venture out on their first field trip of the year.
We will cut thorny vines, shrubs and remove tripping hazards. If we have time, we can free trees and shrubs from love vine and dig up dense stands of snake plants that make life difficult for our resident gopher tortoises.
Long sleeved shirts, pants, hats, gloves and closed-toe shoes are recommended – thorns in the scrub!
Please bring water, hand tools, like clippers, loppers, hand trowels, and a shovel, if you have them. Gloves, a few shovels and trash grabbers will be provided.

Everglades Restoration at 25 years:
What Still Needs to be Done and Why?

Thursday, February 26, 2026
Lantana Road Branch Library, Meeting Room
4020 Lantana Rd. Lake Worth Corridor, FL 33462
Doors Open: 7:00 PM
Presentation: 7:15-8:15 PM
Christopher McVoy, Ph.D., is an Everglades science expert, member of the board of Friends of the Everglades, book author (Landscapes and Hydrology of the Pre-drainage Everglades), Lake Worth Beach City Commissioner, and 2026 Everglades Coalition Public Service Award recipient.
A quarter century after the 2000 Congressional authorization of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, some in government have become reluctant to sustain funding and eager to declare “Mission accomplished!”
Dr. Christopher McVoy will use photos, maps, and models to help us understand why that declaration would be premature, and especially, why the Everglades still need our continued advocacy.
