Trail work gets underway at 8:30 a.m. and goes until 11:00 a.m. Bring your water bottle – we will supply plenty of cold water to refill your bottle. Other things to bring to Saturday’s Trailday are gloves, hats, pruning shears, and loppers. We have a limited supply of tools to share, so don’t worry if you don’t have your own.   Before trail work begins, take a deep breath and enjoy the peace of blissful sunrise yoga at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday. Dianna will lead us through calming, reflective poses that are suitable for any experience level. All are welcome to participate at no charge, and all you need to bring is your mat and your enthusiasm.  The Clermont Christmas Bird Count will be held on Sunday, January 4, 2026.  I would love to have all of your help again!  Please let me know if you would like to help out again whenever you're able.   This year will be a special Count, as it will be dedicated to the memory of Bruce Brown of The Scrub-Jay Trail, who passed away in June.  Bruce loved this event and cheerfully hosted it for many years at the Trail along with his wife, Cathy.  Cathy will continue the tradition, and the Scrub-Jay Trail will be home base for the Clermont CBC once again in January.   Thanks, all!  I hope you're having a wonderful fall migration - I sure am!  I'm already looking forward to an exciting Christmas Bird Count season.  Hopefully I'll be seeing you soon!   John Thomton john.thomton@gmail.com Free guided tours of The Florida Scrub-Jay Trail are offered the first Saturday of each month 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m   For further information or to reserve your spot, please call 352-429-5566 or e-mail info@scrubjaytrail.org.
