Billy Bartram was very popular at the River Center today. Wednesday is Bartram day at the River Center and we had a great time.

Join us on Sat. Nov 7 in Silver Springs (near Ocala) for this fun event!

If you can smell wood smoke, see flames coming from the top of the kiln, hear the clang of a blacksmith at work and find out how to make cane syrup, then you are at one of Marion County’s most unique events — Ocali Country Days. This year’s event will take place Nov. 7 and 8 at the Silver Rive...

If you've never checked out the Bartram Garden at the Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience on Lake Beresford in DeLand, this Friday, Oct. 23 is a good time! IWER has just cut the ribbon on a gorgeous new project, Matt's Point Living Shoreline, which walks you out from the shore, but it's a great place to launch a kayak where Bartram paddled as well.

🌿 This Friday! Make DIY stepping stones for the Bartram Pollinator Garden at Garden Beautification Community Day!

Friday, Oct. 23, 9:00-11:00 AM
Sandra Stetson Aquatic Center (2636 Alhambra Ave.)
Gloves, tools, and refreshments provided. Bring a water bottle.
All welcome!

Public Comment Deadline Approaching 🛣️

The U.S. Forest Service is attempting to rescind the 25-year-old conservation National Forest Roadless Rule in its entirety, removing protections from nearly 45 million acres of wild, unfragmented forest lands across 37 states.

In Florida, eliminating this rule would threaten protected lands in the Ocala National Forest, Osceola National Forest, and Apalachicola National Forest that are critically important for the protection of valuable fish and wildlife habitat, water quality, drinking water, and recreational opportunities.

‼️ The public comment period is open until midnight on October 6. This is the final opportunity for the public to weigh in via Regulations.gov before the rescission can be finalized. ‼️

The Ocala National Forest and its roadless areas directly benefit the health of the St. Johns River. Keep Florida wild!
