Mangrove Chapter Walk - Sat Apr 15 - Circus Hammock Preserve - News Blog

Saturday, April 15, 9:00-11:00 AM  Join Jeff Weber, Sarasota County Parks Environmental Specialist, for a guided walk at Circus Hammock Preserve. This 22-acre preserve is located at 4572 17th Street in Sarasota, just west of the 17th Street Paw Park. Seasonally dry conditions make this the ideal time of year to explore this shady hardwood swamp forest in search of spring blooms. Those with binoculars may also see a migrating warbler or two! Turn off 17th St at the 17th St Park entrance and drive about 500 ft down the road..Park along the road shoulder at the preserve entrance.  Mosquitoes shouldn’t be too bad, but you may want to bring insect repellent, just in case.  For information email mangrovechapter@fnps.org
