*Please note this trip is at capacity, but we are doing a waist list in case anyone can’t make it*

Join Heather Levy and Peter Kleinhenz for one of their favorite wild Florida paddles. We will look for migratory birds while learning about the ecology, conservation, and archaeological history of the Aucilla River Watershed. We will meet at 9AM at Goose Pasture. Before putting in, we will shuttle a few cars to Mandalay Boat Ramp. It is optional to take out at Nuttall Rise or Mandalay. Nuttall Rise has limited car capacity. Going to Mandalay will increase the trip length by about 1 hour. Location details are linked below. Please bring binoculars, dry bags (optional), sunscreen, plenty of water, and a lunch. If you would like to borrow binoculars, let us know in advance and we will provide loaners. The paddle is relatively easy, with a few log crossings. Because the width of the river going toward Mandalay is wide, sometimes the wind can be strong. We will go rain or shine!
