Welcome to CREW!

CREWCorkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed – is a 60,000-acre watershed spanning Lee and Collier Counties. CREW's majestic 5,000 acre marsh is the headwater for the entire watershed which includes the famous Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary directly to the south.

 The CREW Marsh Hiking Trails, located on the northern edge of the expansive 5,000 acre Corkscrew Marsh, offers 5.5 miles of paths winding through spacious pine flatwoods, marsh vistas, shady oak hammocks and pristine popash communities.

In 2009, CREW celebrates 20 years of preservation and education!
