Nature walk and cleanup: 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Jan. 16. Learn about the shorebirds, mangroves and invasive species of Mosquito Lagoon, and be on the lookout for manatees and dolphins. Afterward, the group will clean up trash items along the shore and boat ramp area. Meet at Riverbreeze Park, 250 H.H. Burch Road, Oak Hill. This program is sponsored by Green Volusia Volunteers and Be Floridian Now.
