SUMMARY:Terra Ceia Preserve State Park
DESCRIPTION:Located just over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Manatee County\, Terra Ceia Preserve State Park is 2\,000 acres of mangrove forests\, freshwater and saltwater wetlands\, and uplands. Much of the preserve is in various stages of habitat restoration that is intended to return agricultural land to its natural and ecologically diverse condition. Park trails are open to foot traffic only and accessible from park gates. \nWe plan to meet at the Hightower Trail Entrance. Hightower_trailmap_georef.pdf. Walking is easy and will mostly be flat. Bring water\, snacks\, and insect repellent.  A hat is recommended since we will probably be in unshaded areas at least part of the time. \nThere are no restrooms at the park.\n \nContact TAS Field Trip Coordinator Logan Lane logan.lane@tampaaudubon.org for more information. \nImportant! Pre-registration is required\, and participation is limited. Please 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.

SUMMARY:Field Trip- Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive
DESCRIPTION:Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive (Orange County). \nAlways a great opportunity to get a close-up look at many species we usually only see at a distance. \nThis 12-mile drive through the area will give us lots of opportunities to see a very wide range of birds. Hopefully it will already be hosting thousands of ducks and shorebirds. \nIt is also a reliable place to see Fulvous Whistling-ducks – a species we don’t see in this part of the state. \nContact president@pascoaudubon.com

SUMMARY:Walking With Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:Guided Nature Walking Tour Along the St Pete Pier\nThe new St Pete Pier offers a variety of amenities for locals and tourists alike. However\, humans are not the only ones who can be found soaking up the Florida sun! Join us for a guided walking tour to get a closer look at the wildlife and habitats found nestled into the St Pete Pier. \nDuring this 90 minute walking tour\, participants will learn how to become citizen scientists by discovering how to properly identify species and how to import their sightings into a global data collection platform. There will be multiple stopping points along the way as we examine the interactions between humans and nature while conducting citizen science. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<<

SUMMARY:Advanced Plant Identification - 4-Part Series
DESCRIPTION:This four-part plant identification series will introduce participants to the steps required to positively identify plants. \nPlant identification is based on close observation of morphological characteristics\, contextual clues and lots of practice. This four–part advanced plant identification series will introduce participants to these concepts and the associated vocabulary of the plant scientist. \nThe class follows the contents of Harrington’s “How to Identify Plants” (1957); a copy of which is provided to each registrant. This concise text contains a comprehensive vocabulary of terms and illustrations to help clarify concepts. \nA packet of supplemental educational materials will also be provided to each registrant. \nAbout this Event \nDuring each 4-hour classroom event\, participants will engage in a participatory lecture\, and have plenty of time for Q & A. The final session will be a hands-on workshop that will include graduates from previous courses. Each session will build on the previous; attending the entire series is recommended. \nClasses are four consecutive Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Bio-breaks are factored into the schedule for each day! Bring a bag-lunch (refrigeration and a microwave are available). \n>>> RESERVE A SPOT <<< \nClass dates and syllabus: \nWeek 1\, March 8 \nPlant Classification \n\nParts of a Flower\nInflorescence Types\nNon-Flowering Plant Identification\nRead Harrington Chapter I – V\n\nWeek 2\, March 15 \n\nRoots-n-Shoots\nLeaves\nSurfaces\nFabaceae\, Lamiaceae\, Asteraceae\nRead Harrington Chapters VI – XI\n\nWeek 3\, March 22 \n\nGeneral Terms\nFruits and Seeds\nUsing a Dichotomous Key\n\nWeek 4\, March 29 \n\nReview\, general questions\nHands-on Workshop with former graduates\nGraduation!\n\nUpon completion of the entire course\, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from the University of Florida. \n
