Garden club hosts Turtle Time founder
Since 1989, Eve Haverfield has headed a private, non-profit company called Turtle Time, dedicated to loggerhead sea turtle conservation. On Jan. 2, she made a very interesting and compelling presentation to the Estero Island Garden Club at Chapel by the Sea.
The next meeting for Garden Club members will be a Chinese Auction on Jan. 16, at Terramar Condominiums. On Jan. 20, Arbor Day, club members will be at Fort Myers Beach Elementary School at 11 a.m. to give fourth grade students a young tree to take home and plant. The students will also be given a demonstration on how to plant the tree. This is the second year that the Estero Island Garden Club, together with the Fort Myers Beach Elementary School, has participated in the Fourth Grade Foresters Project, a nationwide movement to help fourth graders plant an urban forest of trees that will benefit the environment for many years to come.
