The onset of winter in the Big Cypress creates a unique and different feeling in the swamp than during the summer. The Cypress trees loose their leaves, the bark changes from brown to a pale gray and the trees stand in their naked majesty soaking up the winter sun. The birds return to Florida and flutter about finding mates. On the summer swamp walk we give over Labor Day, it  is humid, lush, green and primeval, while our winter swamp walks are cool, sprinkled with green here and there, and filled with the crisp sun light of winter.

You will have a guide to lead you into the The Big Cypress Swamp behind the swamp cottage at the Big Cypress Gallery which is a mysterious and secretive environment. There are not many people who brave the difficult swamps and cypress strands in order to understand the beauty and peace found in more than a million acres of swamps and land located in the Everglades eco-system of South Florida. The natural world of Big Cypress Swamp is a richly diverse wilderness of subtropical flora and fauna found nowhere else in our country. 

Bring your own lunch and enjoy a peaceful picnic under the Cypress trees in Clyde and Niki's backyard before or after your swamp walk.  Clyde will welcome you in his gallery for a meet and greet.  Space will be very limited due to the small groups sizes.
