Join the Florida Wildflower Foundation for a fall exploration of St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, where we’ll wander the preserve’s longleaf pine flatwoods and scrubby flatwoods in search of seasonal wildflowers, including Pine lilies, Chapman’s blazing star, and other vibrant fall blooms.

Park ranger Jill Cozza will lead our trip, sharing her knowledge of the preserve and the important role prescribed fire plays in maintaining these fire-dependent habitats and supporting native wildflowers. We’ll learn more about the connection between fire, habitat and Florida’s native plants while looking for the wildflowers that make this preserve such a special place.

Please note that sections of the hike may be wet or muddy.

Registration is free for Florida Wildflower Foundation members and $10 for non-members. Email Rose Kinane to find out if your membership is current or needs to be renewed. To join as a member, visit www.FlaWildflowers.org/membership. Pre-registration is required.
