Winter Walkabout Benefit

Take a day out in your busy holiday season and come enjoy an afternoon at Boyd Hill Nature Preserve. 

The Friends of Boyd Hill are sponsoring a musical interlude for  your busy holiday season on Saturday, December 10, from 1- until 5pm.

Bring a picnic or pick up some snacks at the park and enjoy some great music and a beautiful, stress free afternoon.

Musical acts include Ronny Elliott, the Urban Gypsies of Florida, Charley Groth and Easy Street, and Dan Stevens. Music will sound all afternoon, running the gambit from the Rockabilly/Americana of Ronny Elliott to the tribal rhythms of the Urban Gypsies. Charley Groth and Easy Street offer a blend of jazz, swing, ragtime and more and Dan Stevens offers Americana tales of Florida, love, and life in general.  Surely something for everyone !

The event will benefit the Friends of Boyd Hill Nature Preserve, Inc., which was formed in 1981 to promote awareness of the park, educate the public, and preserve and protect the park and surrounding areas. The Friends' mission is to provide volunteer and financial support for environmental education and advocacy.

Friends of BHNP encourages community involvement and serve as a bridge between citizens and government with the goal of preserving our ecosystem for future generations.

The Preserve spans a unique combination of Florida landforms in its award-winning, 240 acre wilderness. The preserve, located along the shore of Lake Maggiore in beautiful south St. Petersburg, contains scrublands, pine uplands, canopy forest, swamp, marshlands and lakeshore environments.

The Winter Walkabout offers a rare opportunity to relax at the park to some great music and wander the park, enjoying the fall changes in Florida's natural flora and fauna.  The park entrance is located at the south end of Lake Maggiore.
