Great tour
We participated in a guided Saturday morning walk on climate change. It was very interesting and well done. We learned some new information. The grounds were beautiful - very natural. We saw a couple of armadillos. We will return. It was colder and windier there than in the city so it might be a good idea to take ab extra layer of clothing.

Tranquil environment for taking a walking
If you are looking for a peaceful walk with nature this is it. This is a large preserve with lots of trails including some with boardwalks plus a tower for an awesome view of the area. There is an abundance of wildlife which at times is hard to spot. There is an exhibit building with a long canoe which was found in the mangroves and pieced together. The building also has bathroom facilities and a small gift shop. This is all free!
