Projects

GCLHP is joining the effort to have the City of Lighthouse Point established as a National Wildlife Federation city as well as promoting individual members to certify their yards as NWF or pollinator landscapes. [Click on any image to enlarge.]

GCLHP is partnering with 11-year-old Haley who collects donations several times a year for the local food pantry. Her Facebook page is Haley’s Helpful Heart. Please bring non-perishable food items to help Haley so those less fortunate may have a nicer Thanksgiving.
