Friday, April 26 - National Arbor Day Hike with Eva at Oxbow Preserve from 8:30am-10:30am (min age: 12)
Arbor Day, literally translates to “tree” day from the Latin origin, is a holiday that celebrates the planting, upkeep, and preservation of trees. For centuries, communities spanning the globe have found various ways to honor nature and the environment. The focus of this hike is to encourage people to appreciate native trees in Florida's ecosystems and encourage residents to plant native trees wherever possible. We will visit native tree stands, examine resident species, and discuss practical tree planting techniques and considerations.
