Summer Wetland Walk at Levy Loop

Page Content

​​​Alachua County Environmental Protection Department (EPD) invites the community to a summer wetland walk at Levy Loop on Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024, at 8 a.m. The walk is free, but space is limited. Those interested should call 352-451-7818 or email [email protected] to register. The terrain is flat with little shade. Participants should bring water and wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection.

Participants will learn about the plants and wildlife that make up this marsh community and the Alachua County Forever program's conservation efforts on this ecologist-led, family-friendly hike. The hike will be along a berm, elevated above the marsh, to observe the wetland without getting their feet wet.

"It's hot, humid, and some of our neighbors would have it no other way," said Alachua County Environmental Specialist Milo Neelands. "This time of year, the wetlands are buzzing with the sounds of birds, insects, and amphibians."
