1/18 Longleaf Pine Treasure Forest Tour (Mobile, AL)
Leader: Volunteers Jon and Andrew. Contact Kaylin to sign up (coastalkaylin@gmail.com, cell: 228 235 2811)
When/Where: Parking will be at the Mobile Botanical Gardens parking lot at 9:00 am. Tour will take place along the hiking path within the Treasure Forest (on the same property), and may last about 1 hour. The focus will be on proper forest management practices that directly benefit our local wildlife and overall ecosystem health. We will then leave the forest as a group and cross the street to look for white pelicans and other avian visitors at Municipal Park.
If interested, the Mobile Botanical Gardens opens at 10 am with $10 admission (or free admission with proof of membership to another Botanical Garden facility). There will be restrooms available here.
