THANK YOU, GARDEN CLUB The Garden Club has been busy making the community look more beautiful over the past few years. From the plants around the HFC indoor pool to the wide variety of Florida friendly plants around the Pavilion at the Clubhouse, and the area in front of Eagles Nest and 18th green of the East Golf Course, they keep Lake Ashton looking fresh and colorful! A special "thank you" to the facilitator of the Garden Club, Lynn Davis, for always being willing to lend her expertise to the CDD for special projects and to all of the members of the Garden Club, THANK YOU for making Lake Ashton more beautiful! THOMPSON NURSERY ROAD CLEAN-UP By Linda Sandel A Lake Ashton quarterly litter clean-up event is scheduled for Thompson Nursery Road on May 23.

WILDLIFE ALERT It’s that time of year again when sandhill crane colts are seen traveling with their parents. Florida is one of the few places in the world sandhill cranes can be found year-round. The year-round residents are the non-migratory Florida sandhill cranes, which typically roam in pairs or small family groups. There are now fewer than 5,000 Florida sandhill cranes across the state and they are listed as a state-designated threatened species. Please drive safely throughout Lake Ashton and remember that it is illegal to feed these birds. This includes accidental feeding, such as when bird seed is spilled from bird feeders onto the ground below. Photos by David Muller
