Family Birding with Alachua Audubon Society

Alachua Audubon Society partners with Paynes Prairie State Park to offer family walks at La Chua Trail on the first Saturday of the month.  Interested families may register at the Friends of Paynes Prairie website at www.prairiefriends.org under Upcoming Events. We will walk at a leisurely pace for about 2 hours from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m.

A family is not required to join us - anyone is welcome! Bring a child, a grandchild, a neighbor, or just yourself and take a walk on the La Chua Trail. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Loaner binoculars are available during the walk but supplies are limited.

Meet at the La Chua Trail parking lot at 4801 Camp Ranch Road, Gainesville. Walks are free but park admission at La Chua Trail is $4.00 per vehicle (cash only) or free with a Florida State Parks Annual Pass. This walk is suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. Contact Emily Schwartz at 352-372-0754 if you have questions.
