Special Tour
Bee Gum Point Preserve is a protected lagoon-front property owned and managed by the Indian River Land Trust. The 111-acre property was one of the last unprotected wetlands on the barrier island and contains one mile of lagoon shoreline. Due to its key location along the Atlantic Flyway, a major corridor for migrating birds, IRLT obtained grant funding toward its purchase from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service which is designed to protect critical migratory bird habitat. The Preserve is managed as a bird sanctuary and has limited public access. The Land Trust is excited to open the Preserve for a full day to allow the community to come see behind the gate! Comfortable walking shoes and water are recommended.
