Exploration Day: Saturday – February 14, 2026
Lemon Bay Conservancy invites you to join us for a free, public “Exploration Day – Loving Nature” at Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve on Saturday, February 14th. The Preserve is an 80-acre former golf course that has been restored as a nature preserve. Come explore the preserve with our nature guides, visit displays by local environmental groups, and enjoy hands-on environmental activities. All are welcome!
Guided Trail Walks with our knowledgeable guides will leave at various times throughout the event.
Environmental Talks & Activities: Short presentation topics could include: native plans, seagrass, vertical oyster gardens and tarpon research. We are celebrating our 5th Anniversary of renovating the preserve after hurricane damage and will have activities for kids.
Information Displays will be available during the morning for visitors to learn more about environmental and gardening organizations in our area.
Special Golf Cart Tours will be offered for visitors who may have difficulty walking the trails. Space is limited. To sign-up for a tour time, visit the parking lot kiosk.
Self-Guided Walks: The nature trails, the butterfly habitat, the bird observation area, and the labyrinth will be open throughout the event for guests to visit and enjoy. Visitors should wear shoes, hats and clothing appropriate for a nature hike over rough terrain. To protect our wildlife and habitats, pets and bikes are not permitted on the trails or in the event meeting area.
