LABELLE — Welcome to the April 2024 Hendry-Glades Audubon program series! The seventh program of the season will be a presentation by Megan Hatten, “Wings Along the Water: Exploring Shorebird in Southwest Florida”, that will highlight the five focal species of nesting shorebirds who call the Florida coastlines home. The program will be at the Dallas Townsend Agricultural Extension Office 1085 Pratt Blvd in Labelle on Monday, April 8, at 7 p.m.
