UF/IFAS Extension Manatee County Water School is a two-day event to be held July 26-27, and will feature a variety of dynamic and knowledgeable speakers as well as a bus tour visiting a local water wise community and farming operations AND for the first time this year, the tour includes a pontoon boat ride and educational tour of the Manatee River!
