Description

Celebrate Spring with a hike at Split Oak Forest! The Pine Lily Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society is hosting a Saturday morning hike at Split Oak Forest to experience the transition into spring! You can bring your children and fur-babies on this hike. Split Oak Forest is an oasis of peace and calm in the middle of a highly developed area. Gopher tortoise, deer, fox squirrels, and unique native plants abound. Rumor has it that even a panther might have been spotted nearby! Help keep this important piece of native Florida protected from development by attending this hike and finding out how you can help preserve Split Oak Forest. Dress appropriately for hiking in the Florida weather, wearing a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and insect repellent. Wearing closed toe shoes/boots is recommended. It is very important that you bring water and maybe a snack. We may have rain, so check the weather and bring a jacket / poncho if necessary. The Pine Lily Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society serves Osceola County and the surrounding communities. We work to educate the public on the benefits of native plants.
