Thursday (Gladys E. Douglas Preserve)

 

We toured the Douglas Preserve this morning.

The preserve was one of the last remaining large tracts of undeveloped land in Pinellas County. The city acquired the land in 2021 through county and state grants, plus county and city funds, and individual donations. It was up for development when the city intervened and outbid the developers.

We walked the trails that were open and look forward to returning when the trails are completed. It's located in southeast Dunedin in an area that we don't typically frequent. 

Reindeer moss

Rosemary bush

It was a nice little trail.

Afterwards, we still had time to drive over to the marina and walk Edgewater Park.

Beautiful clouds

We walked to where Stevenson Creek empties into the sound, in Clearwater.
