One small mangrove leaf falls into Florida Bay, an area where the fresh water of the Everglades combines with the salt water of the Gulf. The decomposing leaf, along with the millions of other leaves which fall from the coastal mangroves, supports an intricate food web within the park. Crocodiles, roseate spoonbills, raccoons, manatees and humans in South Florida all depend on this special web of life. Join rangers in the Flamingo area as they venture out on walks and canoe programs in search of the many forms of life that thrive within the coastal estuary.

There are no regularly-scheduled ranger-led activities at Flamingo during the summer season. Contact the visitor center to ask about special programs.
