Timucuan Preserve ExplorationMeander through the pristine estuarine marshland of the Timucuan Preserve. We will paddle through the Fort George estuary which has a series of tributaries that wind through the marsh, creating what looks like the arteries of the land. As the water twists and turns, it creates intimate canals for the resident wading birds and fishing osprey, and provides protection for newly hatched fingerlings. This fascinating environment is the lifeblood of the ocean and the nursery ground for most of the life in the sea. The estuary provides protection and abundant food for 90% of the large fish in the Atlantic. As we delicately explore this natural environment, you will learn about the incredible richness of life that is created and thriving in this magical world. Feel the culture and hear stories of the struggles and triumphs of the humans that inhabited this area. With over 5000 years of history, this land echoes the tales of the Timucuan Indians and French Huguenots to us. Sit back, relax and allow the sounds of the estuary to massage your ears while the sights dazzle your eyes. Schedule your tour now, or contact us if you have questions |
