Friends and members of the Indian River Land Trust were
treated to an evening of s’mores by the fire pit and dancing
to the sounds of the James Jordan Orchestra. The 14th year of
the event raised more than $200,000, which will help continue
its land protection work. Since the trust was formed in 1990,
it has: purchased and restored McKee Botanical Garden;
helped protect Jungle Trail and Pelican Island Wildlife Refuge;
established a fund for the Archie Carr Refuge for Sea Turtles;
and commissioned the county’s first environmental land study.
