Save our Centers

We need MORE environmental education centers- not less!

If you live in Pinellas or know someone who does, make your voice heard!!! Heck, even if you don't live in Pinellas, kick up some noise. These centers are jewels for the entire region!

The following message is from the Friends of Pinellas Master Naturalists, Inc. Board of Directors: www.pinellasmasternaturalists.org .

Commissioner Karen Seel from Pinellas County has agreed to attend a meeting at Weedon Island on April 13 to discuss the potential closing (aka mothballing) of both the Brooker Creek and Weedon Island Educational Centers .
Please join us to fill the house at this event. The meeting will be at 6:00 PM at the Weedon Island Education and Cultural Center, 1800 Weedon Drive, Saint Petersburg.
It is also important to send the Pinellas County Commissioners an email asking them to continue each educational center's operation! Please go to:

Click on each commissioner's name and type your message into the text box below. This will send your email to each automatically.
