To celebrate the 5-year campaign to restore Lake Belleview, CSF will co-host a Fish Derby-Nature Expo and Cleanup with the Sea Turtle Conservation Team on December 6 at Lake Belleview. Several city departments also will participate and support the event. The nature expo and clean-up are open to the public.
