Part of the OUTSIDE Collaborative 2021 Tour Series, this interactive field tour will focus on native plant ecology, exploring the interplay between native plants and wildlife as well as the link between habitat restoration and native nursery production. The tour will include three stops in Lake County. At the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail participants will learn about the role of native plant species in promoting habitat for endangered and protected species while exploring the restored Florida scrub ecosystem. The tour will continue on to visit two premier local native nurseries, Enviro-Pro Tree Farm and Green Isles Gardens, where participants will hear from experts on the role of native plants in promoting biodiversity and habitat for pollinators, butterflies, and other wildlife. Discussion will address the challenges and opportunities for increasing the supply and demand for native plants in Florida.
