Saturday Guided Hikes
Weedon Island Preserve is a wonderful example of how nature can persevere throughout a 2,000-year history of human presence on the island. The natural world and humans are permanently linked here, and evidence of this is easily seen through our various hike programs. Guided hikes through coastal mangrove and upland ecosystems of the Preserve are held each Saturday of the month. Experienced volunteers lead guided hikes for the general public that examine the best of our cultural and environmental attributes. These weekly-guided hikes are free.

Check our calendar for the next scheduled hike and to register. Whether you are interested in plants, mammals, birds, insects, archaeology, or history, this hike is for you! Pre-registration is required.
