Adventure Coast Group

Welcome to Sierra Club Adventure Coast Group. Our group territory includes Hernando and Citrus Counties, Florida. This area is known as the Nature Coast for its abundance of natural springs such as the first magnitude springs at Weeki Wachee, Kings Bay, Rainbow, and Chassahowitzka. It is also home to the Nature Coast Aquatic Preserve, containing valuable coastal marshes that comprise the second-largest aquatic preserve in Florida and part of the largest continuous seagrass meadows in the world. This area is also home to the Withlacoochee Forest, with 164,073 acres spanning Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Pasco, and Sumter Counties. Together, these ecosystems provide a habitat for extensive biological diversity from black bears to manatees, sea turtles, fish, birds, flowers, and native plants. Nature tourism is alive and well here and residents and visitors alike enjoy hiking, biking, bird watching, kayaking, canoeing, and enjoying the beauty of our natural areas. Commercial fisheries are an important part of the local economy. 

Contact: Our all-volunteer team of officers, board members, student leaders, and communications team members are dedicated to protecting the continued environmental quality of the Nature Coast. Check out our team at this tab.
