9:00 am – Noon

North Walk-in-Water Creek Preserve

SR 60, Nine miles East of Lake Wales

Enter the Dirt Day Fishing Contest!

(Catch and Release - Bait Provided)

Then let’s take a short hike to see some of the wonders of this 1,113-acre nature

preserve before gathering around the banks of Walk-in-Water Pond for some serious

fishing with family and friends!

Bring your garden shovel, bucket, fishing pole and a picnic lunch!


Dirt Day participants will learn how to grow Sand Cordgrass and


American Beautyberry. Help us plant these helpful natives at the


entrance of the preserve, and take a FREE plant with you to grow


at home. Use your bucket to carry water from the pond to give the


new plantings a healthy start.

E-Mail Miss Glenda: glendamink@polk-county.net

Totally FREE!
 
 
 

• My family attended the Dirt Days last year and loved this program. Each month there is an activity at a local park where you can learn about local plants and the environment and you get to take a plant home with you to plan in your own yard and watch grow. The program is free and since they limit the amount of children it did not ever seem crowded. Make sure to RSVP early!
