Quite literally hot off the presses, we’re going to have this high quality 11x17 print from the very talented R Beans @are.beans for sale at the LEC Wildlife Festival! Which, if you haven’t heard, is tomorrow (Saturday Feb. 22) at the LEC at 9 am! “Yep, there’s water here.” Everyone is doing their part to make sure the Lyonia Environmental Center is ready for this weekend’s Wildlife Festival. One of our inspector scrub-jays did an unannounced review of the bird bath, and thanks to the work of our Garden Keepers, we’re happy to report it passed! If you’ve followed us at all, you know our friend Tyler Lovell. Tyler was announced today as a winner in the 2024 East Central Florida photo contest in the “Conservation & Countryside” category. As you can see, Tyler’s winning photo is of one of our beloved scrub-jays right here at Lyonia Preserve!
