SUMMARY:Hike Into History: Willie Browne
DESCRIPTION:Join the Timucuan Parks Foundation on a fun walk on a relatively wide natural hiking trail that winds through tall oaks and overlooks vast expanses of salt marsh. The walk will be approximately 1.5 – 2 miles (but you are welcome to continue all the way to Spanish Pond for a ~5-mile walk). Tim Gilmore\, author of “The Wilderness and Willie Browne\,” will share some of his research. \n\n\n\n“Passionate letters of gratitude poured in from all over\, from the Caribbean to the Arctic Circle\, though Willie Browne never traveled further than the Georgia state line\, never had a phone\, nor electricity. He did\, however\, have countless friends. When he died alone in his cabin in the woods in 1970\, he left to the Nature Conservancy hundreds of acres of marshes\, hardwood forest and bluffs overlooking the St. Johns River. Though he would never have chosen it\, his became the face of the conservation movement in much of the South\, beloved of environmentalists and hikers\, artists and writers. Half a century later\, more people know Willie Browne than ever. And they still say they can feel his presence in these woods.”  \n\n\n\nTim’s book is Willie Browne’s story. Theodore Roosevelt Area is a special place. \n\n\n\nPricing (non-refundable): \n\n\n\n\n$10 per person (Timucuan Parks Foundation Members)\n\n\n\n$20 per person (Non-Members)\n\n\n\n\nSpace is limited\, and advance registration is required.  \n\n\n\nNot a Member? It’s just $25 annually to become a Park Friend. Join now and save on future outings. \n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Great Southeast Pollinator Census
DESCRIPTION:You can be part of the Great Southeast Pollinator Census. Come out to Castaway Island Preserve on Friday\, August 21 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. to help with this citizen science project. The University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and Duval County Master Gardener Volunteers will host the event to gather useful data to help researchers identify trends and examine how weather affects pollinator populations and how honey bees influence native bee populations. \n\n\n\nYou will be asked to choose a pollinator plant and record the number of times an insect lands. You don’t have to know all the names of the bees and butterflies\, just what category to put your pollinator under. \n\n\n\nThe pollinator census will be happening at other locations around town on Friday and Saturday morning as well. For details on additional locations\, visit https://blogs.ifas.ufl.edu/duvalco/2026/07/31/duval-county-locations-for-the-great-southeast-pollinator-census/ \n\n\n\nThis is a multi-state citizen science project that was started by the University of Georgia in 2017 with 50 gardeners counting pollinator landings on plants. Since then\, it has expanded to South Carolina\, North Carolina\, Florida\, Alabama\, and Mississippi.
