October 28, 2006 -- Crosby Sanctuary Field Trip
Time: 8:00 am -- 11:00 am
The group will meet at the Vystar Credit Union on the NW corner of the intersection of Blanding Blvd and Aurora Blvd in Orange Park.
We will then consolidate vehicles and drive approximately 0.25 miles to sanctuary entrance. From entrance we will walk about 2-3 miles, first through disturbed (lots of exotic plants) uplands and then through semi-mature bottomland hardwood swamp (very nice) along a dry trailroad grade. Once we emerge from the swamp, we will then walk along an open powerline through swamp forest edge and freshwater marsh habitat. Finally, we will traverse a broad seepage slope forest north of the powerlines and then return back through the swamp road to the sanctuary entrance.
Previously identified plant and bird lists will be provided. Please at least bring enclosed shoes that can get wet, water, bug repellent and a good attitude! See you there!
