Meet Lani Walker, a lifelong volunteer who's spent over a decade caring for rescued raptors at Moccasin Lake Nature Park in Clearwater.

Hidden in the city of Clearwater is a 51-acre natural oasis known as Moccasin Lake Park.

The nature preserve is filled with trails, boardwalks, and a wide array of wildlife. Recreational programmer Lloyd Simmons says visitors can expect to see alligators and different types of snakes, but the most unique feature of the park is their birds of prey area.
