The organization oversaw continued habitat restoration work, including invasive species removal, native plantings, and stewardship of the two stormwater detention ponds that serve the Heron's Key Senior Living Community and surrounding Harbor Hill neighborhoods. FHHES also completed the ADA-accessible trail system initiated in 2023, including final grading, surfacing, and installation of safety and directional signage. The trail provides stable, barrier-free access around the stormwater ponds and connects to adjacent city-owned parkland and wetlands. These improvements support safe outdoor engagement for residents of all ages, particularly older adults from Heron's Key and families in the Harbor Hill community. 0 29054 0 During 2024, the organization received $29,054 in donated professional services that directly supported its administrative, financial, and compliance functions.
