Summary: Nature walk from the Gulf shore to a lagoon off Lemon Bay led by ecologist Bruce Dayton at Blind Pass Beach. We discuss how water, wind, sand and living things interact to create our beautiful barrier islands (keys as we call them). The biological emphasis will be on habitats which include: beaches, dunes, coastal hammocks and mangroves. It is a fairly easy two hour stroll on beach, boardwalk, and a short trail. We will meet at 9 am by the Blind Pass sign across from the parking area.
Registration is required and is limited to 15 participants. To register, call Bruce Dayton at 941-493-5087 or email brucedayton1@verizon.net. This program fills up quickly!
