Hike to Horn Springs - A Recent Conservation Win

THIS FIELD TRIP IS FILLED. There are several people on the waiting list, but if you want to add your name, feel free to email apalacheeaudubon@gmail.com.

—————-

Join Peter Kleinhenz, Partnership Programs Coordinator for Tall Timbers Research Station and Land Conservancy, for a hike to Horn Springs. This third-magnitude spring, and the associated Little Horn Spring, is one of the more remote spring complexes in North Florida, and exists in a property that was only acquired by the state in 2017. Peter led a field trip here in 2018, so this will be a way to see how species have responded to the land management activities that have taken place since.
The hike to the spring is approximately 6 miles round trip, and there is now an established hiking trail to follow. We will bird along the way, while also keeping an eye out for plants, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and large trees.
Address: Meet at Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park - 7502 Natural Bridge Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32305
