RESCHEDULED TO JUNE 1 - Field Trip: Cypress Wetlands with Carlos Chacon (06/01/2026)

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:30:00 GMT

Originally scheduled for May 2, this field trip will now take place on Monday June 1st !

Join Expert Birder Carlos Chacon at the Cypress Wetlands in Port Royal, SC, for an hour or so birding from the boardwalk, which offers close-up views of waterfowl, wading birds, alligators, turtles, and occasional surprises. The walk continues on a trail around the other side of the pond, including a viewing platform with views of the “backsides” of the islands visible from the boardwalk. While there are a few roots to avoid on the trail part, this is a flat, easy walk of about a mile. The Boardwalk is open to the sun & weather, but the trail part is shaded. Dress for the weather, and expect bugs.

Directions: From Hilton Head / Bluffton, take Rte 170 toward Beaufort, across the Broad River bridge, then right on SC128 / Savannah Highway. Turn Right onto US 21 Route / Parris Island Gateway which becomes Ribaut Rd.

Due to the construction on Paris Avenue, CARLOS WILL MEET YOU AT THE COVERED PAVILION ON RICHMOND AVENUE. Parking for the pavilion is ACROSS from 1710 Richmond Avenue.

Directions are as follows: Turn off of Ribaut Road onto Richmond Avenue at the Dollar General. Drive through the first stop sign, past the YMCA, and then park along Richmond Avenue at the covered pavilion.
