Join Bill Dunson of the Mangrove Chapter of the Florida Native Society from 9 to 11 a.m. Feb. 1 for a guieded walk at Manasota Scrub Preserve (2695 Bridge Street, Englewood).
The walk is approximately 1.5 miles along a loop trail to explore the tale of two wetlands. Although there are mesic pine flatwoods in both wetlands, the remarkable ecological demonstration is the differences in plants between one wetland degraded by groundwater pumping for the Englewood Water District (wetland 1), and one much less impacted by such pumping (wetland 2).
There is a small parking lot and additional parallel parking available along the road shoulder. The leader requests that all participants be vaccinated. No dogs are allowed in this park.
