SUMMARY:Living Waters: Aquatic Preserves of Florida
DESCRIPTION:Living Waters: Aquatic Preserves of Florida\nPhotography Exhibit by Clyde Butcher \nThe Tampa Bay Aquatic Preserves (TBAP) highlight the best of what our state has to offer: open water\, inlet bays\, tidally influenced creeks and rivers\, oyster reefs\, seagrass beds\, salt marshes and mangrove forests. These habitats are vital to Florida’s iconic wildlife such as manatees\, dolphins\, fishes\, oysters\, and an abundance of wading\, nesting and migratory birds. Although not widely known\, TBAP even has a variety of corals in its hard-bottom areas. The preserves include four separate preserves: Boca Ciega Bay Aquatic Preserve\, Cockroach Bay Aquatic Preserve\, Pinellas County Aquatic Preserve\, and Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve.*\n*Tampa Bay Aquatic Preserves | Florida Department of Environmental Protection \n“Florida’s natural beauty is often most evident in its aquatic preserves. They are Florida’s natural watery Eden’s—home to freshwater springs\, seagrass meadows\, and mangrove forests that provide food and habitat. Florida’s aquatic preserves truly are living waters. Within these pages\, Clyde Butcher celebrates Florida’s aquatic preserves\, capturing magical moments through his breathtaking photographs. His interest and respect for Florida’s natural environment is genuine. Mr. Butcher’s photographs will inspire you and touch your curiosity and concern for the wonders of Florida’s aquatic preserves—our living waters. Water runs through\, around\, and under Florida\, creating its varied landscapes and biological diversity. Mr. Butcher’s photographs remind us that this natural heritage is entrusted to us to maintain for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.”**\n**https://www.clearwaterhistoricalsociety.org/current-exhibits/ \nTampa Audubon will meet at the museum at 10:00 a.m. There is parking behind the museum. There is a donation requested of $5 for each person. After the exhibit\, those interested can go to lunch at a local area restaurant. \nPlease do not attend this or any Tampa Audubon Society events if you have flu\, cold\, or covid symptoms. Tampa Audubon is committed to reducing the spread of illnesses. The health and safety of our members is of the highest priority. \nAdvance registration is required. Please contact the Trip Leader for further coordination. Be sure to plan accordingly: \nRSVP field trip leader Mic McCarty mic.mccarty@tampaaudubon.org

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.
