Matanzas Preserve Turns 40
Celebration April 6th
The Friends of Matanzas Pass Preserve (MPP) will host a “40th
Anniversary Dedication Celebration” for the site on Saturday, April 6,
at 10 a.m. “Sheena Brook, who represented Fort Myers Beach so well on
‘The Voice” a few seasons back, provides the musical entertainment,”
said Vicki Little of Lee County Parks & Recreation who is a current
MPP Board Member. “We will have guided tours, food and vendors, along
with recognizing the Preserve’s significant supporters. We are so
fortunate, as having a 60-acre Preserve like this on a 7-mile barrier
island is unheard of!” MPP is one of the few large undeveloped and protected areas left on
Fort Myers Beach. It is home to a diversity of native plants and
animals, including a maritime oak hammock, transitional wetland and a
mangrove forest full of raccoon, rabbit, hawks, owls, turtles, snakes,
herons, fish and songbirds. It has a 1.25-mile ADA-accessible boardwalk,
bayside pavilion with a majestic view of the Estero Bay Aquatic
Preserve, and is on the Great Florida Birding & Wildlife Trail and
Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail. MPP is at 199 Bay Road, just down
the sidestreet from the Fort Myers Beach Public Library, and is open
daily from dawn to dusk with free but limited parking. FULL ARTICLE
