2012 Lecture Series Schedule and Information

Saturdays at 10 AM at the Learning Center at Barefoot Beach Preserve

Don't miss out on our exciting upcoming lecture series for 2012.  Many interesting and thought provoking lectures on a wide variety of subjects, both old and new, will be presented all the way through March.

PLACE:  Barefoot Beach Learning Center (2 miles west of US 41 off Bonita Beach Road, left turn at Barefoot Blvd. light.  Drive south through second guard gate and park in the first parking lot. Lectures will be held in the Chickee Hut between the butterfly garden and the cactus garden.

The Lecture Series is sponsored by the Friends of Barefoot Beach Preserve, a non-profit organization concerned with the protection and preservation of our precious marine and wetland environment.  There is no charge for the lectures, however, a parking fee will be charged for those visitors who do not have a Collier County Beach Parking Permit.  Permits are available free of charge to all individuals who own property in Collier County, and may be purchased by others.  If you plan to visit the beach often or attend lectures on a regular basis, purchasing a permit makes sense.
