Meet trip leader Maggie Paxson in the parking area for Longleaf Flatwoods Reserve, Co Rd 325, South of State Rd 20, Hawthorne, FL 32640 at 9am. We'll hike the shorter loop trail through well-managed Longleaf pine forest. This trail is one of the best places in Alachua County to see the threatened Bachman's sparrow, along with brown-headed nuthatch, red-headed woodpeckers, and other pinewoods specialists. This trail is unpaved and can be uneven in places, and there are no bathrooms or water access on site, so please plan accordingly!
The Gainesville YBC is open to students aged 9-18, but younger siblings are welcome with parental supervision. Students should wear closed-toe shoes and sunscreen and bring water for the walk. You may also wish to apply bug spray. Loaner binoculars are available for students who cannot bring their own pair.
