Tour Overview
Take a two-hour walk with a trained tour leader through the reserve’s eight habitats: from sandy beach to the Devereux Slough to a restored coastal dune system. Learn about the Reserve’s cultural history and its current conservation, restoration, and research projects. You will enjoy glimpses of rare and endangered species-such as White Tailed Kite, Western Snowy Plover, and the Wandering Skipper butterfly.
