Weedon Island Preserve

Visit for a calendar of event .
The goal of Weedon Island Preserve Management is to effectively coordinate the management of the site’s ecological and cultural resources using methods that promote public education and encourage compatible recreational activities. An active approach to land management includes prescribed burns in natural cycles, selective restoration of mangrove areas affected by mosquito ditches to restore water flow, and getting rid of exotic and invasive plants. Research and species counts are conducted periodically throughout the year.
