May is American Wetlands Month Celebrate! Learn! Explore! Celebrate American Wetlands Month with the Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County (EPC) and the Conservation and Environmental Lands Management Department.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

During the month of May, tour four of Hillsborough County's most scenic wetlands with guides from the EPC. On each tour, we will explore a unique Hillsborough County wetland to discuss and learn the importance of wetlands in our community. Natural wetlands serve as habitat for many wildlife species, provide numerous recreational opportunities, filter our drinking water and protect us from flooding.

Learn more about the true value of wetlands to our community by joining us on this month-long tour of Hillsborough County's wetlands.
