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\nSnakes play important ecological roles as both predator and prey\, yet they remain highly misunderstood animals. Florida is home to 46 native species of snakes\, and\, like all animals\, they present little danger when left alone. Herpetologist and environmental educator George L. Heinrich will dispel snake myths and misunderstandings to teach participants about why snakes are cool! We will explore 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! \nThis program will be led by George L. Heinrich\, 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. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<<

DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand…\nOFF THE BEATEN PATH\nA nature-based fundraising hike series \nThis series of four hikes will take place in beautiful areas tucked away within Brooker Creek Preserve in sites that are closed to the public. Our guide\, Dr. Craig Huegel\, can identify everything\, from the tiniest moss to the tallest tree including animal prints\, bird calls\, lichens\, and more. He is full of stories and very patient in answering questions. The hikes will be not only educational\, but a lot of fun as well! \nThe hikes will begin at 9:00 a.m. and be about 3-4 hours long. Bring water and lunch.\nCost: $80 donation for the series or $25 donation per hike with a 10% discount for members of Friends of Brooker Creek Preserve \nSites Off the Beaten Path: \nSep. 22\, 2024 – Catesby’s Lilies…and More! – Located in the eastern part of the preserve\, we will search for the threatened Catesby’s Lily. In so doing\, we will see a profusion of beautiful fall wildflowers in full bloom. \nJan. 19\, 2025 – Cypress Swamp – Located in the central part of the preserve\, this site\nfeatures orchids\, ferns\, and epiphytes. Plan to get wet\, or maybe not\, as we plunge into the depths of the swamp! \nMarch 16\, 2025 – Sandhills – The only true sandhills of Brooker Creek Preserve. This site is in the northern end of the preserve and will feature an abundance of spring wildflowers. \nJune 22\, 2025 – Interior Wildlands – We will be in parts of the Preserve so remote that\ncell phones won’t work\, areas so pretty you won’t believe you are in Pinellas County! \nReservations Required: info@friendsofbrookercreekpreserve.org\nSign up early!
