Lower Peirce Boardwalk
free guided walk

Let a guide really show you the forest!
Going on a tour with a volunteer guide is the best way to see and learn more about this special trail.

Along this shady, cool boardwalk, take your time to discover and learn about amazing plants such as pitcher plants, Macaranga or the Ant-plant and Nibong palms. Monkeys and lizards are commonly encountered. If we are lucky, we might spot the Flying lemur (Colugo), Clouded monitor lizard or beautiful Twin-barred tree snake. Skirting the water's edge, we can also explore freshwater life such as dragonflies and fishes among the water weeds.
