SUMMARY:FIELD TRIP - Deep Creek
DESCRIPTION:Interlachen\, Putnam County \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis field trip will open for Florida Wildflower Foundation members on June 25 and to the general public on July 2.  Become a Florida Wildflower Foundation member today for early access! \n\n\n\nTrip Lead: Willy The Losen\, CEO and Conservation Director of the Putnam Land Conservancy \n\n\n\nJoin us for an exciting experience wading in the tannic waters of Deep Creek to see a rare southern population of Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides). A major tributary of the Ocklawaha River in Putnam County\, Deep Creek has national botanical significance\, with ten listed plant species and several others at the southern extent of their ranges. With few introduced plants or major disturbances\, this natural area offers a glimpse into Florida’s ecological past. \n\n\n\nThe field trip takes place on a 200-acre property recently acquired by the State of Florida that includes a half-mile stretch of Deep Creek. Facilitated by the Putnam Land Conservancy (PLC)\, this land is now part of the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway. Along with an adjacent 800-acre timberland acquisition\, it enhances protection and connectivity within the Ocala to Osceola (O2O) segment of the Florida Wildlife Corridor and serves as a critical connection for the Greenway’s managed lands. \n\n\n\nDuring this wet walk\, participants will likely encounter a rich variety of native plants including Switchcane (Arundinaria gigantea)\, Silverling (Baccharis glomeruliflora)\, Marsh bur-marigold (Bidens mitis)\, Common buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis)\, Spotted water hemlock (Cicuta maculata)\, Climbing hydrangea (Decumaria barbara)\, Loblolly bay (Gordonia lasianthus)\, Goldenclub (Orontium aquaticum) and Walter’s viburnum (Viburnum obovatum). \n\n\n\nParticipants should be prepared to get wet and muddy. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear\, bring a walking stick for stability\, and pack a small dry bag for cell phones and other essential items that need to stay dry. \n\n\n\nThe trip will be led by Willy The Losen\, founding member\, CEO and Conservation Director of the Putnam Land Conservancy. In this role\, Willy uses his background in environmental engineering to find new and innovative strategies for land conservation. He brings both deep knowledge and passion to this unique\, in-the-water experience. \n\n\n\nRegistration 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.
