Upcoming Webinars & Topics
Cypress domes are small swamps dominated by cypress trees. They are often caused by old sinkholes that fill up with fresh water; the perfect habitat for cypress. In these special wetlands you will find plants and animals perfectly-suited for life with their “feet wet.” Join us and let’s see what we can discover!
Although Brooker Creek Preserve exists more-or-less in its original state, development all around has created the necessity to channel some of the flow to prevent flooding. We’ll explore a man-made channel, and channel the energy of the plants and animals found there!
Certain areas of Brooker Creek Preserve contain large ponds/small lakes. Let’s dive in and discover submerged, emergent and floating plants, and perhaps some wildlife at home there!
In this session, we’ll stomp through the swamp and explore a flooded hardwood forest. The boardwalks around the Brooker Creek Preserve Environmental Education Center cut through a flooded forest dominated by tupelo and sweetbay trees. What will we find there? Tune in to find out.
