This week, the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation will begin the preliminary steps of a multi-phase restoration project on the newly acquired Periwinkle Wetlands Preserve, officials reported.
“We are grateful that we were able to acquire these key 12-plus acres and we ask the public to please understand that we must clear the land of exotics before we can restore it,” Chief Executive Officer Ryan Orgera said. “Since it’s right on Perwinkle Way and highly visible, we want to explain the process so a return to a diverse natural habitat is well understood.”
