  Knowledgeable volunteers lead canoe/kayak tours every Thursday morning at 9 a.m. and Saturday at 8 a.m. This is one of the most popular ways to explore the Savannas. Trips generally return after about 2 hours of exploration. Reservations are required for the trip and space is limited for this very popular program. Trips are available at other times during the week if requested. During the winter, moonlit paddles are offered monthly. Please contact the Education Center (Thursday through Monday) at (772) 398-2779 for additional information and reservations. No pets.

• FROGWATCH - RECORD THE RIBBIT!
  First Saturday of the Month, 7:30 PM
  Join us on the first Saturday of each month to learn about the frog population here at the park. This 'Citizen Science Monitoring Program,' sponsored by FrogWatch USA, gives YOU the opportunity to help scientists conserve amphibians! Being a FrogWatch volunteer gives you the opportunity to gather information that will help increase awareness of nationwide amphibian declines that can ultimately lead to practical and workable ways to help conserve these important species – all while helping you learn more about the wetlands in your community and the calls of frogs and toads in your community! Have fun while doing something important for frogs and their habitat.
