Everglades Fieldtrip 12/14
Today I had the pleasure to take my students to Everglades National Park.

With the dedication of Everglades National Park in 1947, a new
precedent was set in the growing conservation movement. For the first
time in American history, a large tract of wilderness was permanently
protected not for its scenic value, but for the benefit of the unique
diversity of life it sustained. A plethora of habitats found within the Everglades Ecosystem supports as many animal and species not found anywhere else in the world. While nine distinct habitats
have been identified, the landscape remains dynamic. Ecosystems remain
in a constant state of flux, subject to the elements of south Florida.
My students studied four out of the nine habitats found in the Everglades National Park and consequently had the pleasure of exploring them hands on today. I was impressed by all of the knowledge they gained by this incredible experience! |
