Experience the beauty of one of the most endangered ecosystems, the longleaf pine forest. Learn the  historic use of longleaf, as well as its 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. Bring a bag lunch and drink. Trips start  at 10:00 and run until approximately 2:00.
