On Saturday November 17th seven members of the Rotary Club picked up litter
on Hwy 491 including a part of Beverly Hills and south . It was a nice cool morning
for a little manual labor although the wind seems to blow hard when we do highway
cleanup. Club members in the picture below taken by Hazel Carlson are:
Chuck Clark, Denise Denick, Anthony Kopka, John Clardy, Roger Carlson,
Mike Busler and Nancy Ayres.

Our speaker was  Joyce Kleen from the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge
Complex. Five National Wildlife Refuges are managed from this location.
Joyce spoke about the history and what wildlife was on these five refuges.
These refuges provide space and safety for manatees, birds, turtles and other
species. The refuges provide a nesting and breeding ground for thousands
of birds.  A critical habitat is provided during the winter for more the 700
mandates. Loggerhead sea turtles nesting peaked at 165 nests in 2018.
Joyce Kleen and President Mike Busler are shown below.
