Join Sarasota County Environmental Specialist Diana Donaghy to
learn about strategies used by preserve managers when the preserves
are in the midst of the suburbs. You will learn an introduction to some
of the many plants and animals that are found in this natural area
sandwiched within an urban setting. Get acquainted with special
management practices and some of the challenges involved
with managing fire-dependent habitats while strolling through
them. Participants should wear comfortable, neutral-colored
clothing, sunscreen and insect repellent and bring drinking water,
camera (optional) and binoculars. To increase the possibility of
seeing wildlife, pets will not be allowed on the walk. Sarasota County
nature walks prohibit participants from smoking. Space for this
walk is limited to 15. Reservations are required. Call 311 or email
parksonline@scgov.net for more information.
