About this event

  • 2 hours

Bring your owl eyes and allow the moonlight to guide you through nighttime at CREW. As a thank you for your membership, join the CREW Trust staff for 1.5 miles through the CREW Marsh Trails where we’ll learn about what makes the nighttime an adventure!

The hike starts promptly at 8:15 PM after the sun has set. To allow our eyes to adjust to the darkness, please leave your phone in your pocket and only use the provided red flashlights to reduce light pollution.

Organized by

CREW Land & Water Trust

The CREW Land & Water Trust was established in 1989 as a nonprofit organization to coordinate the land acquisition, land management, and public use of the 60,000-acre Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed. We work closely with our partners, the South Florida Water Management District and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to ensure the protection of the watershed. This watershed, the largest intact watershed in south Florida, straddles Lee and Collier Counties and provides aquifer recharge, natural flood protection, water purification, preservation of wildlife habitat, and public recreation.  CREW's majestic 5,000-acre marsh is the headwaters for the entire watershed.

Members only registration week is SEPTEMBER 1st-8th. Non-members may register after September 8th.
