The Birds Thank Gobie Plumbing


The inordinately generous-spirited folks at Gobie Plumbing have flown to our rescue time and again whenever the temperamental Doc Thomas House "vintage plumbing" goes on the fritz. Indeed, their skills in this regard border on magical. And we can't thank them enough for conjuring up hot water on-demand for the chickee's outdoor kitchen! T he fully licensed and insured family business has been providing platinum-grade professional services to Miamians since 1981. From residential needs to remodeling and new construction, owners Laura and Phil Gobie are actively involved in every facet of your project. Their mission: "Provide honest, clean, courteous, professional service."  All true.

Supporting vendors that support TAS, such as Gobie Plumbing, is an easy way to contribute to our Conservation Mission. The Birds will thank you!

Summer in the Rocklands: Will it be the Last?

Meeting Agenda: 

* Get updates on our efforts to stop $1-billion-dollars-worth of proposed development in the globally imperiled Pine Rocklands now remaining in South Florida.

* Hear about our efforts to have some 40 acres of former U.S. Coast Guard holdings declared "Environmentally Endangered Land," to be preserved -- not bulldozed -- for future generations.

* Learn what you can do to help preserve and restore the last remnant (2%) of our region's once vast Pine Rocklands, and help protect the rare plants and wildlife that rely on the unique ecosystem.

  
This Land is Your Land: 
A Second Century for America's National Parks
thru January 8, 2016

This exhibition considers America's National Park Service as it enters its second century with a particular focus on South Florida's four national park sites: Everglades, Biscayne and Dry Tortugas National Parks and Big Cypress National Preserve. Its purpose is to elevate awareness of our national parks with the hope of motivating action toward their continued protection. Experiential in approach, this exhibition presents natural and cultural objects, artwork and film to communicate the national park idea and experience. 

Curated by Jacqueline Crucet and designed by Miami-based design firm SimpleFly Creative, this exhibit is endorsed and supported by the National Park Service.
