May Update

Crosby Sanctuary Project is currently on hold for the summer and until we can obtain a zoning change from Clay County. The zoning change should be complete by August 2006, which will give us plenty of time to finish planning and conduct more fundraising. Please feel free to contact me at (904) 536-4806 for sanctuary tours and information.
Here are some pictures of the Crosby Sanctuary from this spring.

Air Potato

Air Potato vine is an exotic plant that is noxious and very prevalent in the southern uplands at the sanctuary. It will eventually be eradicated as we work to restore native upland habitats.

If you see this plant in your yards and neighborhoods, then please eradicate it before it spreads!

Progress as of March 1, 2006

The development of the Crosby sanctuary is in the planning and development stage by the Duval Audubon Society Board of Directors and member volunteers. We are always looking for and in need of people to volunteer their time to help with all aspects of the project.
At the next on-site volunteer meeting and work day on Saturday March 18, 2006, we will begin planting a native plant, bird and butterfly demonstration garden. Meet at Vystar Credit Union parking lot on the corner of Blanding Blvd and Aquarius Concourse at 8 am sharp.
Please feel free to post your comments and any helpful information or ideas for recruiting volunteers and eliciting funding sources.
