DESCRIPTION:Learn how to redesign your yard for resiliency with low maintenance native landscape plants. \n\n\n\n\n\nLearn to create a landscape that is beautiful and provides valuable ecosystem services in our Bay Friendly Landscaping class. This class will focus on selecting plants that are low maintenance and are adapted to the extreme conditions that we have here in Florida\, including sandy soil\, high winds\, drought\, and flooding.

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
