Roger Hammer and Craig Huegel will be co-leading our annual spring wildflower walks at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve, May 9th, 2020.

Participants may also sign up for a free 45 minute buggy ride in the prairie.
Each walk (AM and PM) is limited to 20 participants. Please bring your own lunch, water, a hat, sun screen and bug repellent.
