The Myakka Conservancy Inc. invites the public to a Florida Cracker barbecue, trail ride and hay ride to benefit conservation of the Myakka River magical Mile on Saturday, February 25 at the Strickland Ranch in Myakka City.

In addition to the barbecue -- which includes music, dancing and a silent auction -- the Conservancy is offering a horseback trail ride or hay ride in a wagon drawn by Clydesdales prior to the evening event.

4 - 6 p.m. - Trail Ride and Hay Ride

6:30 - 10 p.m. - Barbecue, music, dancing & silent auction

Proceeds will benefit the conservation and management of property placed in under management by The Myakka Conservancy Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Sarasota, Fla.  The Magical Mile includes 1.3 miles of river and about 62 acres of uplands and wetlands located just north of Myakka River State Park.

"We call it the Magical Mile because it's the first mile of the Wild & Scenic River section of the Myakka," said Julie Morris, a founding member of the conservancy's board and assistant vice president for Academic Affairs at New College of Florida.  "The property is a microcosm of the conservation and management challenges presented by human interaction with the Myakka ecosystem."
