Journey back into Florida’s past when the saber cat, giant sloth, mammoth, giant tortoise, and bison roamed the sunshine state.

With a Sensing Nature biologist, investigate animal fossils millions of years old and float back in time when mega-fauna ruled our coastal habitats. Afterwards, roll up your sleeves and dig in our personalized fossil pit! Find a Florida fossil of your own to identify and take it home.

This class is recommended for adults and youth ages 6 and up. Youth must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the class.

Proceeds will support the Friends of Weedon Island, a non-profit organization that work to promotes education and conservation of the Weedon Island Preserve. Learn about our Friends at https://friendsofweedonisland.org/.
