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.

Beautiful! I've walked many hours in the scrub. Thanks for the intro Hillary Swain. Who gets credit for the film and excellent editing?

i wish there was more land avaiĺable for park purchase around the highlands ridge. this would be a great step in a balance for both animal and man.

I am always grateful to those in FL who have fought so hard to preserve a good chunk of it. Other states are not so lucky and much of their original landscape is gone. That said, the state needs to use the money it's citizens allocated to preserving it!
