This 134-acre tract was formerly used to deposit dredge material until the Schultz Preserve was restored to mangrove forest, coastal & freshwater marsh, coastal dunes and uplands. It provides important habitat for fisheries, shorebirds, mangrove specialists and upland wildlife, including bobcats, and migrating neotropical songbirds. Join us as we start the New Year off right with this 3-mile hike. Lunch to follow.
