SUMMARY:Eagle Lake Park BioBlitz!
DESCRIPTION:Join others in the community for a fun\, citizen-science effort to record as many species of plants and insects at Eagle Lake Park! \n\n\n\n\n\nPinellas County has recently been recognized as a Bee City (County) by the non-profit Xerces Society for the Conservation of Invertebrates. Part of our commitment to foster a community that supports insect conservation is to engage citizens in the collection of data on the health of our insect populations. \nYou are invited to join others in the community for a fun\, citizen-science effort to record as many species of plants and insects at Eagle Lake Park on June 28th. This “Bio-Blitz” using the iNaturalist phone app (free) will give us an idea of the density and diversity of pollinators and the plants they depend on in one park in our county. Educators from the Brooker Creek and Weedon Island Environmental Education Centers will be on hand to get you started at the BioBlitz. \n>>> GET TICKETS <<<

SUMMARY:Why Snakes are Cool!
DESCRIPTION:Learn about Florida’s native snakes and get the chance to see some live animals up-close! \n\n\nDespite playing important ecological roles as both predators and prey\, snakes remain highly misunderstood vertebrates. Florida is home to 46 native species of snakes\, with most occuring in the central peninsula. And of those 46 species\, only four venomous species occur in central Florida and these snakes present little danger when left alone. Herpetologist and environmental educator George L. Heinrich will teach participants about why snakes are cool\, emphasizing Florida snake diversity\, natural history\, conservation\, and snake safety. \nAt the end of the program a selection of live snakes will be available for viewing and handling if participants choose to do so — and we hope that you will! \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \nGeorge L. Heinrich is a field biologist and environmental educator specializing in Florida reptiles. His company\, Heinrich Ecological Services\, is based in St. Petersburg\, Florida and conducts wildlife surveys and research\, natural history programming\, and nature-based tours. George is currently the Executive Director of the Florida Turtle Conservation Trust.
