Look for the Plaques, Unlock the Island’s Secrets

All across the island you’ll find educational plaques that bring our ecosystem to life—from the hidden world of bats in their houses to the slow, steady journey of the gopher tortoise. Each sign shares the vital role of species like shorebirds, bees, and mangroves in keeping our island thriving. Use the map to see where every plaque is located, then head out and explore the island as a living classroom.
