Jetta Point Nature Walk & Eagle Watching / Winter Springs

See the wildlife that calls Jetta Point home. Join neighbors for an easy evening nature walk along the Cross Seminole Trail on Saturday, October 24. We’ll look for plants and wildlife, record observations if you’d like to participate in a community BioBlitz, and watch for bald eagles at dusk. You’ll also hear a brief update on the community effort to keep this wooded Seminole County land protected. Newcomers are welcome; no nature expertise or app is required.
