Saturday Nature Walks Audubon Pennington Park

Audubon Pennington Park is a 7.9 acre park that Charlotte County leases to the Peace River Audubon Society. Maintenance is provided by PRAS volunteers and the County. The park features cypress swamp, oak hammock, and pine flatwoods and the amenities include a parking lot, trails, and a few scattered benches. Rob Mills will guide the walk and explain how the park got its name, the local history of the community and provide a naturalist's view of the flora and fauna. His colorful descriptions are sure to entertain. The trail is less than a mile so it is an easy, mostly shady hike. Florida Weekly recommends the Park in its New Comers Guide.

Donations are needed for the printing of brochures that are available at the entrance and are free for visitors, acquisition of native plants for the butterfly and bird gardens, and additional specimen signage to identify trees and plants.
