Volunteer at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station

Miami, Florida

Description

Spend the day along the water, in beautiful, sunny, Miami, helping out with a great organization that is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of sick, injured or orphaned brown pelicans, seabirds and other native wildlife.

Open from 9am til 6pm on weekdays (5pm on weekends), the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station is open to the public. Take a guided tour or contact them about volunteering. They are always in need of extra help and volunteering is a great way to spend a day.

I volunteered every week for about a month and it was really interesting getting to know all the birds and their different personalities. Pelican Harbor Seabird Station also accepts other injured wildlife including mammals and reptiles. If you enjoy the outdoors and the ocean, and have a love for animals, it is definitely worth checking out Pelican Harbor.

Take a Sunrise Stroll around Matheson Hammock

Matheson Hammock is a beautiful park in the heart of one of the oldest sections of Miami, just off of Old Culter Road. This is far off the tourist map which is mostly confined to South Beach. However, it is just 20 minutes from the beach and 10 minutes from Downtown. The park is enjoyed by many locals during the day, due to the mossy oaks in its interior, intimate mangroves, and breezy palms ...

However, just 50 yards south of the entry to the Estate is a small service road that leads down to the "People's Dock" on Biscayne Bay. After you park in the main Deering parking area, you will walk down this ser...
