Circle B To Reopen Tuesday; Sierra To Meet There Thursday

Circle B Bar Reserve will reopen Tuesday following hurricane cleanup, though some trails will remain closed.
The opening will mean Ancient Islands Sierra Clubs’s monthly meeting will proceed as scheduled at the workshop.
Members and guests should arrive at 6:30 p.m for a covered dish meal following by the program beginning a 7 pm
This month’s program will be presented by Jeff Spence, retired county director or parks and natural resources. He will describe the work that was involved to develop Circle B into the world-class ecotourism site it is today.
Its purchase and development were the result of a grassroots effort led by Sierra and its partners to gain voter approval in 1994 for a referendum to impose a tax to buy and manage some of the remaining environmental jewels in Polk County’s landscape to preserve parts of the county’s heritage.
Sierra was also a leader in the 2022 referendum to extend the program, which voters approved.
