Exploring The Florida Scrub: Archbold's Nature Trail

Archbold opened two new nature trails in 2012 near the Learning Center: The Discovery Loop (30 minute, less than 1/4 mile walk) and the Explorers Loop (over 1/2 mile and 1 hour walk). What if you could experience Archbold anytime, no matter where you are? Now you can. Our new video ‘Exploring the Florida Scrub: Archbold’s Nature Trail’ will grab you by the hand for a unique virtual overview of the Florida scrub experience. The video does not follow the trails step-by-step, but rather immerses you, as if you are walking along sandy trails where anything can happen including real surprise encounters with Gopher Tortoises, Florida Scrub-Jays, Ant Lions, palmettos, recently-burned scrub, and more. Then, come visit the trail for yourself! If you prefer a guided trail tour, check our Facebook page and website for upcoming tours. Or, if you like a self-guiding experience, start at the Learning Center and grab a trail guide. The trails are open to the public every day from dawn to dusk.
