Join Steve and Melanie Garcia as we explore the unique ecosystem of Frenchman’s Forest Natural Area, a 158-acre preserve in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The area features diverse habitats, including pine flatwoods, strand swamp, scrubby flatwoods, hydric hammock, tidal swamp, and wet flatwoods.

Last year’s trip recorded 30 bird species, including the Nashville Warbler, Pileated Woodpecker, and Summer Tanager.

Please note, there are no restrooms on-site. The nearest restroom is 1 mile away at the 7-Eleven, located at 2490 PGA Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens.

All ages and abilities are welcome; however, this trail is not accessible for wheelchairs or assistive walking devices, as it consists of dirt and sand, not a boardwalk.
