SUMMARY:Grassy Water Preserve Restoration Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join Cindy Bush and Scott Zucker as we go off the beaten path and behind the scenes at Grassy Waters Preserve.\n\n\nJoin Cindy Bush and Scott Zucker for a restorative hike through one of South Florida’s remnants of the original Everglades. This is an amazing opportunity to explore diverse ecosystems—wetlands\, forested hammocks\, and tree islands—while reconnecting with nature at a slower\, more mindful pace. Keep an eye out for the swallow-tailed kite\, wood stork\, great blue heron\, white-tailed deer\, otter\, bobcat\, and alligator\, all of whom call this preserve home. We’ll meet at the nature center parking lot before setting out to take in the beautiful scenery that Grassy Waters Preserve has to offer. \nAbout Grassy Waters Preserve \nGrassy Waters Preserve is a 23-square-mile wetlands ecosystem in West Palm Beach that serves as the freshwater supply for the City of West Palm Beach\, South Palm Beach\, and Palm Beach Island. Historically a key part of the Greater Everglades watershed and the headwaters of the Loxahatchee River’s Northwest Fork\, this remnant of the original Everglades system makes up nearly half the land area of the city. A mosaic of wetlands\, tree islands\, and forested hammocks\, the Preserve provides critical habitat for threatened and endangered species\, including the Everglades snail kite\, wood stork\, and bald eagle—making it a vital link in the health of the greater Everglades ecosystem. \nLogistics: \n\nMeet Up: Meet in the nature center parking lot for check-in and Grassy Waters Preserve waivers.
