About this site

This area spent years filled in with weedy, invasive species. In recent years, unwanted vegetation was removed and the process of planting native vegetation began. With support from The Florida Lake Management Society's Love Your Lake grant program, Se7en Wetlands is working to plant more native vegetation, improve water quality, and involve the public in this area. How will the new, native vegetation change overtime? Will better water quality and native vegetation bring more wildlife? Please help us document changes at this location!
