The Florida Keys Wildlife Society is set to begin its 30th year with a free public celebration Tuesday, Nov. 17, on Big Pine Key.
Scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Lower Keys Chamber of Commerce, 31020 Overseas Highway at mile marker 31, the event carries the theme “Together for Wildlife.” It will look back at the organization’s work since its 1997 founding and preview programs and activities planned for the upcoming season.
