Please visit us at our Bailey Homestead Preserve, which features our Native Landscapes & Garden Center, the Shipley Trail, and the historic Bailey Homestead. 

We also encourage visitors to join residents by signing up to volunteer in our immersive opportunities! Through our Coastal Watch Voluntourism program, you can help offset the impacts of recent hurricanes by cleaning up our beaches and preserves, helping to restore our mangroves and oyster reefs, and by taking part in native plantings to improve resilience and restore wildlife habitat.
