Crystal River Preserve State Park and St. Martins Marsh Aquatic Preserve will be hosting a wildlife walk on the 7-Mile Loop Trail at the end of State Park Street, Crystal River. Participants will take photos and sound recordings to document as many species as they can with the citizen science app, iNaturalist. This event is part of a week long project to observe biodiversity from the saltmarsh of our estuaries to the springs of Kings Bay! Visit the area during the BioBlitz and upload observations to add them to our communal efforts to record as many species as we can!

Please join us and the Apalachicola River keepers for a fun filled day at the annual coastal cleanup event. This event benefits our one of kind beaches while protecting threated species and reducing the negative impact on local ecosystems. St. George Island hosts a variety of unique natural communities, nesting sea turtles and shorebirds that rely on the pristine habitats found here on the island. This coastal clean up will consist of picking up litter along the coastlines. All ages are welcome to join our community and be a part of protecting the Real Florida. We will start the day off at the ranger station to have a quick meeting and go over the days itinerary before breaking into our small groups to go to our designated cleanup zones. Participants should expect maximum 3 hours on this event. Afterwards, participants are welcome to enjoy all that this state park has to offer.
