Located in the mouth of the Braden River, Pine Island Preserve is an 89-acre refuge for wildlife, including towering longleaf pine trees and nesting American Bald Eagles. Join us for a volunteer event to document plant and animal species for the Sarasota Manatee Ecoflora Project. This is an intermediate paddle not suitable for beginning kayakers. Single and tandem sit-on-top kayaks, paddles, and life jackets are available to borrow on a first-come-first-served basis. If you would like to borrow a kayak, please choose the "borrow a kayak" ticket type. Otherwise, participants must have their own canoe or kayak and safety gear, including a life jacket and whistle. All participants must wear a life jacket while on the water. Program suitable for ages 16 and older who can meet the County's minimum kayaking eligibility requirements. Participants should bring a water bottle and wear clothing appropriate for the weather. We recommend sun protection, bug spray, and closed-toe shoes that strap or tie to your feet, no flip-flops. Your feet will get wet and muddy. Please bring a cell phone or camera to document wildlife! You may wish to download the iNaturalist app prior to the program. Program sponsored by Selby Botanical Gardens in partnership with Manatee County. For more information contact [email protected]. Register online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/616491581917
