Join us on Saturday, December 13th for a fun and refreshing hike through our beautiful upland sandhill habitat! Wander beneath towering longleaf pines, crunch across sandy trails dotted with wiregrass, and keep an eye out for gopher tortoise burrows and other hidden wildlife treasures. As we explore this unique high-and-dry ecosystem, you’ll learn what makes sandhills so special—and why they’re one of Florida’s most fascinating natural communities. It’s the perfect blend of fresh air, discovery, and outdoor adventure!The hike starts and ends at Chinsegut Conservation Center where there are restrooms and water fountains. Participants should meet at the center and be ready to start the hike at 9:00 am. The hike will take approximately 2 hours and will end around 11:00 am. The hike length is just over 2 miles along our trail system, which is unpaved, along uneven and sometimes sandy terrain with a mix of shaded and unshaded areas.
Long pants, close-toed shoes, sunscreen and a hat are recommended. Binoculars and cameras are optional 😊
