In cooperation with neighbors, local environmentalists, master gardeners, and various community groups, the Treasure Coast Unitarian Universalist Church plans to create a unique eco-sanctuary. Behind the newly constructed sanctuary, 1.5 acres of relatively undeveloped land will be transformed into habitat for wildlife, bird feeding and nesting stations, playing fields for after school recreation, rain gardens with butterfly and herbal themes, walking paths, and an outdoor performance area/classroom space. Complete restoration of the grounds is expected to take a few years.
