Recently the OSFR board was honored by an invitation to a professionally led hike in order to learn to identify native species of plants growing along the Santa Fe River.
The invitation was accepted by several board members and was led by OSFR advisor Dr. Colette Jacono whose expertise is recognized nationally inasmuch as she if often invited to give expert testimony in major litigation disputes.
The excursion took place on August 14, 2022 at the Blue Trail in the Santa Fe River Preserve, lands recently purchased by The Alachua Conservation Trust. The Blue Trail Hike was a short .75-mile trail with a small portion running along the upper Santa Fe River. It took about an hour to complete.
