[BLS-News] THIS SATURDAY: Mindful Hike at Hugh Taylor Birch State Park Saturday, December 18 at 9:30 am

[Broward Lotus Sangha]

*The Broward Lotus Sangha
and
The Broward chapter of The Florida Native Plant Society
Invite you to an educational field-trip and mindful hike at Hugh Taylor
Birch State Park with a focus on Florida Native Edible Plants*

*Date:* Saturday, December 18
*Time:* 9:30 am

*This activity is suitable for the whole family. Bring your children,
friends, and well-behaved dogs too!*

Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is an oasis of tropical hammocks that preserves
four distinct natural communities, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and
the Intracoastal Waterway. We will mindfully hike along the trails and learn
about local plants and wildlife as well as Florida native edibles.

At the end of the hike with us, you can rent a canoe and paddle along a
mile-long freshwater lagoon, bike or skate along the paved park road, cross
over to the beach via the pedestrian tunnel under A1A, or rest at one of the
picnic areas overlooking the channel. You may also want to visit The
Terramar Visitor Center featuring displays regarding the area's natural and
cultural history. The park is open from 8:00 a.m. until sundown, 365 days a
year.

There is no charge for the guided hike, but there is a per-vehicle park
entrance fee of $4.00 to $6.00 (incentive to carpool!); or a $2.00 Admission
Fee for pedestrians and bicyclists.
