Come experience the informative nature tour of the Cypress Wetlands conducted by Master Naturalist Jill Moore, of Moore 2 Life. While the tours are free to the public, we rely on the generosity of our donors to fund the expenses of our organization, which includes the services of our Master Naturalist. Donations are vital to the fulfillment of our mission, which is to support the cypress wetlands and rookery, increase community awareness through education, and advocate for maintaining the stormwater retention system as a working organic laboratory. To donate, you may visit the “Donate” page of our website, or bring the donation with you to the tour and leave it with the Master Naturalist. Thank you for your support.
Scroll down to book. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at info@foprcw.org.
***Due to recent improvements on Paris Avenue, access to the Port Royal Cypress Wetlands amphitheater will be limited for pedestrians. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, we recommend that visitors to the Wetlands begin their tour at the half-mile loop, starting from 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.***
