ESTERO RIVER OAKS PRESERVE

Our projects keep getting bigger and better! 
Estero’s River Oaks Preserve is a passive recreational area with a strong focus on concepts of simplicity, natural/native care of the land, sustainability, and being “one with nature.” This property will expose visitors to a lesser-known side of Florida – one with shiny blueberries, hogplums, gopher apple, butterfly milkweed and where gopher tortoises live.​
This Project is a partnership between the Coccoloba Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society and the Village of Estero. Support includes USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Audubon of Southwest Florida and others. 

Volunteer hours are Sundays and Tuesdays from 9-1. Come check us out!
In July 2022, this is how the property looked. Come see it today!
