Invasive Species Removal Volunteer Day – Palm Bay
October 31 @ 8:45 am - 11:45 am
About the event
MRC runs one of the largest licensed mangrove nurseries in the state of Florida. Our Palm Bay property borders the Indian River Lagoon. On the Lagoon, invasive species, like the Brazilian pepper tree, can outgrow native species. In order to promote growth of native species, MRC staff will remove invasive species multiple times a year.
