Connecting with Water Buggy Tour

Explore different types of water systems at Tiger Creek and help document the health of our water systems using water quality testing kits and observing water samples under a microscope.

Connecting with Conservation Weekends (CwC) introduces guests to TNC conservation priorities with a free monthly activity. This month’s tour focuses on Water. This event includes an hour and a half long buggy tour and a stop to collect water samples in our bayhead.

We will provide tools to monitor our wetlands found at Tiger Creek and will learn about the importance of protecting freshwater in Florida and around the world. This is an introductory tour to understanding the importance of water conservation.
