What Make This Event So Special?
In its first land acquisition project since McKee Botanical Garden, IRLT acquired two important pieces of land to establish a new trail project along the Indian River Lagoon.

The purchases include the protection of:

• A native oak hammock as the gateway to a 1-mile trail loop; and
• A mangrove swamp, with an elevated boardwalk and a dock extending into the Indian River Lagoon.

These purchases will provide access to more than 40 undeveloped acres that will allow walkers, bird watchers, and others a quiet scenic stroll with pristine views of the Lagoon.

During this event, our members and guests will be the first residents of our country to tour these properties.

CONSERVATORS FETED AT WINDSOR
On Monday, March 30, 2009, the major donor circle of the Indian River Land Trust joined board members and staff for a reception in their honor at the home of Mrs. Edwin Thrower at Windsor. The evening was well attended and enjoyed by all. Guests were offered the opportunity to learn about upcoming projects and efforts of the organization while enjoying the company of fellow conservation-minded philanthropists. Many thanks to our hostess, Boots Thrower, for organizing a wonderful event.
