LABELLE, FL. -- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is holding regional workshops this summer to present information on opportunities for local governments to help conserve gopher tortoises in Florida.
The goal of these workshops is to identify ways cities and counties can participate in protecting one of Florida’s threatened species. In addition, the FWC will discuss financial incentives available for local governments.
An Aug. 16 workshop is scheduled in Hendry County in south Florida, with representatives of local governments in nearby counties encouraged to attend.
Hendry County, Tuesday, Aug. 16, 9 a.m. to noon, Hendry County UF/IFAS Extension Office, 1085 Pratt Blvd., LaBelle, FL 33935
The workshop is free, but registration is required as space is limited. To register, send your name and your organization’s name to Alex.Kalfin@MyFWC.com.
