Football
The Eastside High School football team will travel to Alachua to play Santa Fe High School in a spring football game.
For the first time in 21 years, Gainesville residents will be asked this holiday weekend to be invader raiders in their own backyards and neighborhoods instead of nature parks.
The annual Great Invader Raider Rally, typically held on a Saturday in January, will be held Friday through Monday in a socially distanced format because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Gainesville Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department has organized many volunteers every year since 2000 to remove invasive plants from local parks and natural areas.
The event’s organizers said the focus this year is on reducing the amount of plants that jump from the community into nature parks.
Gainesville city officials say there is a controlled fire scheduled Tuesday at Morningside Nature Center that should end before 5 p.m.
The ecological fuel reduction burn is being conducted by city nature operation officials in conjunction with the Florida Forest Service. There is no public access to the park or living history farm during the burn, a news release said.
