SUMMARY:ZOOM: Florida Supernature
DESCRIPTION:These classes take place online in a webinar room. Registered participants will receive the web link via email at the time of registration.  \nUpcoming Webinars & Topics\n\nSeptember 9 – At Home In A Cypress Dome\n\nCypress 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! \n\nSeptember 16 – Channel X\, Re-taking a Man-made Waterway\n\nAlthough 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! \n\nSeptember 23 – On Brooker Pond\n\nCertain 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! \n\nSeptember 30 – A Flooded Forest\n\nIn 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. \nParticipants can register for one or more of the topics by clicking the titles(s) above.  \nRegistration is required.
