Looking to get creative for the holiday season? The Oakland Nature Preserve has West Orange locals covered.

The ONP is coming up on its first Winter Wreath Walk and the preserve is asking residents to lend a helping hand in decorating.

The preserve is planning on lining the boardwalk to the pavilion at Lake Apopka with 60 or more illuminated Yuletide wreaths all made by the West Orange community.

Participants will also have the opportunity to offer their creations as part of a silent auction.

The Winter Wreath Walk will be taking place each evening starting Friday Dec. 17, through Sunday Dec. 19, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the Heathy West Orange Boardwalk.

Full details for wreath creation requirements and registration can be found here.
