About this Event

Overview

Join us for an educational guided walking tour through James E. Gray Preserve in New Port Richey, FL! This park, located on the Pithlachacottee River, features a beautiful walking trail filled with wildlife and native plant species.


An educational guided nature walk will be led by Dr. Megan Moore, the UF/IFAS Extension Florida Sea Grant Agent for Pasco County. You will learn about plant identification, native fauna, and the ecosystem benefits these systems provide. Join us to walk and learn!
