Felts Audubon Preserve

Saturday, May 17th 

9:00am-12:00pm

​

The University of Florida Alumni Association has designated Saturday, May 17, 2025, as International Gator Day, a day in which Gator Clubs® and Affiliate Groups around the world unite to utilize the size and spirit of the Gator Nation® to positively impact local communities.  Gators will join together to support projects and programs within their local communities, using their time and talents to serve others.

 

The Manatee County Gator Club is proud to participate in another wonderful community engagement project for International Gator Day.  This year's project will be a partnership with the Manatee County Audubon Society at their Felts Audubon Preserve in Palmetto. Don't miss this chance to get out into nature and explore a local wildlife preserve while also doing good for our community.  The project will consist of helping the Audubon Society remove invasive plant species from the Preserve and will include a short program so we can learn more about the important work of the Manatee County Audubon Society at the Felts Audubon Preserve.
