October is Florida Native Plant Month! As the summer heat dissipates, Florida’s plant communities burst into bloom in a dazzling “second spring.” Come meet some of our native wildflowers and pollinators and learn about the Alachua County Forever Program’s restoration efforts on this ecologist-led family friendly hike. The terrain of this 3 mile hike is flat but there is very little shade, so bring comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and drinking water.
When: Sunday, October 27th, 2pm-6pm.
Where: Barr Hammock Preserve South Trailhead, 300 SE 175th Ave, Micanopy, FL 32667.
