Registration starts at 8 a.m.; speaker presentations start a 9 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the schedule, info, and bios of the great speakers on our website<br><a href=\"https:\/\/pelicanislandaudubon.org\/home-page\/transforming-landscapes-for-a-sustainable-future-\nconference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/pelicanislandaudubon.org\/home-page\/transforming-landscapes-for-a-sustainable-future-<br>conference\/<\/a>. Admission is $25 in advance on our website ($35 at the door) for those attending which<br>includes a box lunch and on ZOOM. One free ticket to HOA board presidents. There will also be<br>nurseries offering native plants for purchase and experts demonstrating how to plant them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you are aware, our Lagoon and waterways are in trouble from runoff from our lawns and roadways.<br>We at Pelican Island Audubon and our sponsors feel that we can greatly reduce this pollution by<br>reducing grass lawns and planting native plants that do not require lots of fertilizer, herbicides, and<br>precious water, but are still attractive to us and our birds, butterflies, fish and other animals, which are in decline.\u00a0These plantings will save money by reducing precious drinking water use. A central Florida<br>study found that, on average, 64% of our drinking water is used by homes for irrigation. In the summer,<br>this water use rises to 88%. In addition to reducing water use, replacing lawns with native plants will<br>retain soil, preventing erosion into the Lagoon, and reduce fertilizers and herbicides going into what<br>used to be our pristine waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please attend and share this email with your friends and members. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many thanks for your concern for our environment and our future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CONTACT: Richard H.
