Orange Audubon is pleased to be joining with the Tarflower chapter of the Native Plant Society for a field trip to Wekiwa Springs State Park which is known for its large areas of fire-maintained natural Sandhill and Pine Flatwoods habitat.
Wekiwa is the crown jewel of the state park system with an impressive diversity of habitats that makes for a wide variety of birds and unique plants. Join this special joint field trip of Orange Audubon Society and the Tarflower Chapter of the Native Plant Society in which you will observe the beautiful birdlife and animal life and the distinctive plant life as well.

Wildlife includes White-tailed deer, Sherman’s Fox Squirrels, and Fence Lizards. Our guides from the Native Plant Society will point out some of the native plant species that thrive here.
