What a treat we have for you! Roger Hammer, for those who don’t know, is an award-winning professional naturalist, author, botanist and photographer. He offers entertaining and informative programs to orchid societies, garden clubs, butterfly organizations, Audubon societies, environmental groups, and botanical gardens in addition to civic groups. And today, he’s offering his services to the SFNPCC to take us all on a wildflower walk in the Everglades, hopefully we’ll see the grass-pink orchid!
He’ll take us down an approximate 1 1/2 (one and a half) mile trail in the Everglades prairie. Be sure you’re physically able to walk that far with all of your gear before signing up.
After the walk, Roger will have his many books for sale. If you wish to buy, be sure to bring cash or checks (books are $25 to $30 each). He doesn’t do credit cards or payment apps. Totally old-school here. If you’re interested in seeing which books he’s written, here’s the list on his website. Below is a sample of the many guides he’s written.
Space is extremely limited. We’re aiming for 10 participants, and will possibly accept 15.
Cost to attend:
Members $10
Non-members $20

Be sure you also have a National Parks Pass or Everglades Park Pass. You can purchase those online HERE or you can buy them ahead of time at the visitor’s center (not the day of, they don’t open until 9am). Single use is $35 and good for a week, an Everglades Yearly pass is $70, and an American the Beautiful pass (for all National Parks) is $80 per year. You can also buy them at the gate with a credit card when you enter the park.
