Fall Wildflower Walk Scheduled for October 18th

On October 18th, Brenda Thomas – FGCU instructor and former EE Specialist for CREW – will be leading a fall wildflower walk at the CREW Trails. Fall blooms are special because they include such rarities as the endangered Pine Lily (also known as the Catesby’s Lily) and many grasses which seed out only during the autumn months. Come learn from an expert, enjoy a cooler fall day on the trails, and feel the magic of the seasons changing.

Celebrate Spring Wildflowers with Special Hikes at CREW

The CREW Trails are spectacular showcases for wildflowers in the springtime. The CREW Marsh Trails and the Cypress Dome Trails are particularly bountiful. We are already seeing a few grass pink orchids (Calapogon tuberosus) popping up along the trail edges, along with sneezeweed, shiny blueberries, marsh pinks, violets, a variety of milkworts, and much more.

To celebrate and help you enjoy these flowers, we have two special wildflower walks scheduled for early April:

April 4th at 9:30 AM with Glen Stacell and Gary Schmelz (authors of A Guide to Native Wildflowers of Southwest Florida). For more info and to register, click here.
April 12th at 9:00 AM with Roger Hammer (author of Everglades Wildflowers and Florida Icons). For more info and to register, click here.
