Join us on this special guided walk to explore the Pine Flatwoods habitat at the Sanctuary!  Learn about the plants and wildlife found in this beautiful landscape and the natural processes that are necessary to maintain this sometimes underappreciated habitat.  Special emphasis will be on the value of protecting this dry- to short-hydroperiod habitat and associated plants for wildlife and people.  We will also keep a lookout for birds and other wildlife.  We will be walking about 1 to 1.5 miles off of the boardwalk, mostly on a trail, but on some uneven ground, so bring sturdy walking shoes that you do not mind potentially getting a little dirty,  The areas we will be walking in at most times of the year should be dry (no standing water).  Long pants are also recommended for this walk.  We will be in an open sunny area, so bring water and sun protection such as a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen.  People will also want to bring binoculars and maybe a camera. 

All participants must sign a liability waiver and must be at least 12 years of age to participate in this activity.
