Edward Medard Conservation Park

Picture
Located in the south of Plant City, this park is home to every bird in all of existence all at once – or it seems that way.

Walking through the branching, looped pathways on the high banks on the edge of the many coves and inlets of the Pleasant Grove Resrvoir, one can see cardinals, blackbirds, woodpeckers, ducks, storks, anhingas, vultures, and alligators. Bring binoculars. There is enough variety and activity to keep any birder busy until sunset.

The banks are high and dry. Mud should not be a problem here. Nor does one need worry about alligators climbing the steep banks. Benches allow one to look out over the water or peer below at the animals in the weeds.

There is a little something for everyone. The park also has a boat ramp, fishing pier, playground, and frisbee golf. Near the playground are the famous root forests and beyond these are the green ponds.
