Butterfly and Bird Walk at Weekiwachee Preserve North Loop

Saturday, April 12, 2025

Make reservations here.

For more information, contact Clay: cjbird@bellsouth.net or 352-592-4949.

April is a prime time to view butterflies. Meet in the parking lot near the playground equipment at Linda Pedersen Park at Jenkins Creek, 6300 Shoal Line Blvd. (CR 595), in Spring Hill. We’ll explore trails in the northern section of the preserve looking for both migrant and resident birds as well as butterflies that should be flying in good numbers at this time of year. We’ll walk about two miles of walking on forest trails, but participants can cut it short, if desired. There are restrooms and drinking water in the park.
