Bird Walk at Fort Matanzas

The National Park Service will treat Historic City News readers to a free opportunity to explore the ecology of Florida’s coast at its upcoming Bird Walk; scheduled for Saturday November 1, 2014 at Fort Matanzas National Monument.

This Bird Walk will take place from 9:30 am to 11:30 am.

“Please meet at the Fort Matanzas Visitor Center if you are interested in participating and don’t forget to bring bug spray, binoculars and comfortable, closed-toe shoes,” Andrew Rich told local reporters. “This Bird Walk is appropriate for all ages; difficulty level is mild, with some uneven terrain encountered during the walk.”

If using GPS to locate us, our address is 8635 A1A South, St. Augustine, FL 32080.

Fort Matanzas is open from 9:00 AM to 5:30 pm. There is no entrance or parking fees required to visit the park, take the short ferry ride to the fort, or to participate in the Bird Walk.

Programs and ferry service are subject to cancellation due to bad weather.
