Not a paddle, but another interesting opportunity:
- April 19th: 8:00 a.m. (Note early start time). Charlie Woodruff will lead a nature walk at Lemon Creek Wildflower Preserve. This early morning walk is timed to the typical bird migration season, so we may see some unusual migrants, as well as a wide-variety of plants and resident birds. The Preserve is located at 3120 Gasparilla Pines Boulevard, Englewood, FL 34223. No reservations are required for this walk.
