Experience the beauty of one of the most endangered ecosystems, the longleaf pine forest. Learn the  historic use of longleaf, as well as their ecological characteristics, importance, and present-day  management. Program will include an extensive but leisurely hike through the forest and a visit to  remains of a former sawmill on Cat Island. Participants should be prepared to cross the Intracoastal  Waterway via pontoon boat, as well as around 3 miles of walking on relatively even ground.
