Guided Tour of The Florida Scrub-Jay
Trail, November 6, from 8am-11am
In this 3 hour program, first time visitors to the Trail will
learn about the status of the Florida scrub-jay and its habitat. During a tour
of the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail visitors will watch for the resident jays and
learn about the native plants of the Florida Scrub.
Following the tour, visitors
will participate in the planting of a scrub-oak on the Trail, and find out how
they can contribute to the preservation of the species on their own property.
This
program is open to all adults and children who share a love of the outdoors,
birds and wildlife.
Reservations
for the stewardship program are required to assure a spot.
