SBEP Bay Guardians to Visit Bowlees Creek on March 1

The Sarasota Bay Estuary Program’s Bay Guardians will visit Bowlees Creek Island on Saturday, April 6 to remove debris. Bowlees Creek Island is located near the boundary between Sarasota and Manatee County. The volunteers will be taking a boat, canoe, kayak, or a boat shuttle to the island, which is known for catching debris flowing into Sarasota Bay from nearby Bowlees Creek. The event will run from 9am to noon and SBEP will provide a picnic lunch following the morning project.

The Bay Guardians are the largest and most active volunteer program in the region focused on Sarasota Bay. The award-winning volunteer program is managed by SBEP in partnership with Around the Bend Nature Tours. New volunteers receive a blue tee shirt featuring the Bay Guardians logo. Each outing features environmental education and a picnic lunch. Join the Bay Guardians for a single project or as an ongoing commitment. Local school, scout and church groups interested in volunteering should contact Sara Kane at sara@sarasotabay.org
