Visitors to the Helen and Allan Cruickshank Sanctuary in Rockledge, Florida, can hike the trail on the western portion of the 140-acre sanctuary. This trail winds through pine flatwoods habitat where raptors may be circling overhead or perched in high pine trees. Patches of oak, sand pine scrub, and freshwater depression marshes add to the Sanctuary's diversity. The sanctuary is made up of Pine flatwoods and scrub habitat where you can see Migratory birds, Florida scrub-jay, bobwhite quail, raptors, gopher tortoise, eastern indigo snake, and bobcat. It's one of the best locations in Brevard County to photograph the Florida Scrub Jay. Directions to the SanctuaryFrom US-1 go west on Barnes Blvd and travel for 0.4 miles. Look for sign and entrance gate on right. From I-95 take Fiske Blvd Exit-195. At off ramp light, go straight (east) onto Barnes Blvd and travel 2.2 miles to entrance on left.
