The ecotours will highlight more than 170,000 acres of public natural lands in the Pascagoula River corridor in George and Jackson counties. The tours will include sunset cruises, overnight canoe and kayak trips, walking tours, birding tours and seminars.
Location: Moss Point, Pascagoula, Gautier, Ocean Springs, Lucedale and George and Jackson counties Duration: April 13-22 Official Site
Leah Bray, an environmental scientist with Eco-Logic Restoration Services said:
We also want to bring ecotourists from the Gulf Coast and surrounding areas that will support our local economy and show respect and appreciation for our wildlife, culture and community.
What’s new this year? Ecotours, an adventure race and an identification challenge centered on birds. Many of the birding tours as well as the field trips are likely to take you into De Soto National Forest, the Ward Bayou Wildlife Management Area, the Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge, the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge, the Gulf Islands National Seashore, the Grand Bay Coastal Preserve and the National Estuarine.
