🌺 How to Support Wildlife This Spring 🌺

🌿 Plant Native Plants
As spring arrives in Florida, consider planting native plants that provide food and shelter for local wildlife.

🦊 Give Wildlife Space
Spring is baby season for many species. If you see wildlife, give them space and allow them to remain undisturbed.

🦌 Do Not Feed Wildlife
Feeding wildlife can harm their health and make them dependent on humans.

🐿 If You Find Sick, Injured, or Orphaned Wildlife
Contact us at (352)212-4083 or any a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

🫧🐋 Spotted today at Hospital Hole… the locals are floating again! 🐋🫧

We captured an interactive 360° photo of the manatees hanging out at Hospital Hole in Spring Hill, and let’s just say—these gentle sea potatoes were living their best life. 😄

Spin around, look up, look down, and take it all in like you’re right there in the water with them (minus the wetsuit and goosebumps). This is Florida magic in full surround-view.

Our vision is centered on Crystal River embracing its small coastal town roots while blending tradition, creativity, and community connection.

This year, our board is focused on four key goals that support this vision, from celebrating local art and history to strengthening walkability, collaboration, and small businesses across downtown.

Want to be part of the work? There are lots of ways to get involved, including joining a committee, volunteering, or supporting upcoming initiatives.

✨ A great place to start is our Mix & Mingle on January 29 at Kane’s Cattle Co. Come meet the board, learn more about what we do, and connect with others who care about Crystal River.
We can’t wait to see what we build together in 2026.
