Nature Walks in the Wild

Nature Walks in the Wild

Friends and Volunteers of Refuges


In order to acquaint people with the beauty of the National Wildlife Refuge that is in our very own backyard, Friends of the Lower Suwannee and Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge conducts a nature walk on the first Monday of every month.

Our next walk on December 1st will start at the Refuge Headquarters at 9 a.m. We will walk one of the many scenic trails that are found on the Lower Suwannee NWR. Even now, with winter coming fast upon us, there are interesting things to see in the woods. The plants may have lost some leaves, some birds may have gone further south but we have birds here that only appear in the winter. We have eagles and owls that start nesting in December and January. We have House Wrens that do not stay here and nest in the summer but only appear in the winter. There is always the possibility of seeing an unusual bird that is seldom found in this area. Besides birds, there are many animals living in the Lower Suwannee NWR. Animals are seen less often but the possibility is always there. Among the animals known to be on the Refuge are deer, feral hogs, armadillo, fox, coyotes, bob cats and even bear. And that is only a partial listing.

I hope you will join us for a walk in the wild and take advantage of this opportunity to reacquaint yourself with the beauty and serenity of the forest. For more information, please call me, Joan Stephens at 352-463-1095.
