Love nature? You can kayak Robinson Preserve on Friday and plant native species on its newest acreage on Saturday.
On Friday, Sept. 22 from 6:30-8:30 p.m., join the Sunset Starlight Paddle, a guided nature trip in the salt marshes of Robinson Preserve in northwest Bradenton.
The group will take advantage of low tide to watch the sunset from the sandbars of the Manatee River. Bring your camera for great shots of egrets, herons and roseate spoonbills.
The easy paddle can be enjoyed by beginning kayakers. Bring your own kayak or canoe and safety gear, including a light and a life jacket. For reservations, call 941-742-5757 ext. 7.
On Saturday, Sept. 23 from 8:30-11:30 a.m., join volunteers for the National Estuaries Week Robinson expansion planting and get a sneak peak on all the updates in the new section of the preserve.
