Public invited to give input on Buttonwood and Heron Pond Preserves

PINE ISLAND – Buttonwood and Heron Pond Preserve, located on the south side of Pine Island Road three-quarter miles east of Stringfellow Road, now has a management plan the public can view to offer input. The plan will be the topic of discussion at a noon meeting Monday, Jan. 13, at the North Fort Myers Recreation Center.

The plan – called a land management plan – is the product of Lee County Conservation 20/20 staff. The plan describes the preserves and the planned restoration work. After public review the plan will be presented to the Lee County Board of County Commissioners for approval.

The management plan is available for review until Jan. 12 at the Pine Island Public Library, 10700 Russell Road N.W., and also at the North Fort Myers Public Library, 2001 N. Tamiami Trail. Find it online at this link
