SUMMARY:Blackwater Creek Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Located north of Plant City\, the Blackwater Creek Nature Preserve (BCNP) is a 2\,200-acre site maintained by Hillsborough County.  BCNP is mostly flat and the trail is a mixture of grass and sand.  While there are several stands of long leaf pines and cypress heads\, the trail is mostly unshaded and generally follows the edges of several wide fields.  We plan on hiking the red trail\, which includes a short walk down to the namesake creek.\nThe total length of our walk is approximately 4.1 miles.  Please wear comfortable shoes and sunscreen if needed.  There are no restrooms at BCNP\, so plan accordingly.\nBirds commonly seen at BCNP during February include Eastern Bluebirds\, Eastern Towhees\, and assorted Warblers.  Less common sightings include Northern Harriers and Bachman’s Sparrows.  Given the large fields and open views\, 10X binoculars will come in handy\, but 8X will be fine.\n\nImportant! Pre-registration is required and participation is limited. Important! Pre-registration is required\, and participation is limited. Please do not attend this or any Tampa Audubon Society events if you have flu\, cold\, or covid symptoms. Tampa Audubon is committed to reducing the spread of illnesses.
