SUMMARY:Archaeology Lecture: Discoveries from the Garrison
DESCRIPTION:The Garrison Neighborhood\, established in 1896\, was the first Black-owned neighborhood in Tampa. \n\n\nArchaeology lecture hosted by the Central Gulf Coast Archaeological Society (CGCAS) and the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education (AWIARE). \nThe Garrison Neighborhood\, established in 1896\, was the first Black-owned neighborhood in Tampa. Until the 1940s the neighborhood flourished with Black-owned businesses\, schools\, and churches. Despite this\, few mentions of the neighborhood exist in archaeological reports of the area. Downtown Tampa’s archaeological requirements prioritizes the National Register eligible Fort Brooke site\, leaving this unique Black neighborhood underutilized in the study of Tampa’s diverse early pioneers. Since 2016 Stantec has been excavating portions of the Garrison\, including the Caesar Street School\, an African Methodist Episcopal Church\, storefronts\, and numerous residences. Through the artifact assemblages of these sites a greater understanding can be gleaned of life in this important Tampa neighborhood. \nThis lecture will feature Kelsey Kreiser\, an archaeologist at a local Stantec office in Tampa. She has been working in cultural resource management since 2018\, conducting fieldwork across much of Florida and the greater southeastern United States. \nLearn more about CGCAS & AWIARE’s archaeology lecture series. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<<

SUMMARY:Budding Romances!
DESCRIPTION:An entertaining exploration of bugs and bloomers. \nSex is a driving force that shapes the lives of all living things\, so animals and plants have more in common than you might think. What is this force that unifies us all? How does it function? What are some of the astonishing\, outrageous\, and wildly bizarre ways that Nature gets the job done? Armed with his camera and thinking cap\, John Lampkin has been photo-documenting some answers over the past 25 years in gardens far and wide. Including Brooker Creek. This program will amaze\, entertain and educate on mating like you’ve never seen it before! Geared towards adults. \nThis program is recommended for an adult audience only. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \nAdditional Notes: It takes about 10 minutes to drive from the preserve entrance (Keystone Rd.) to the parking lot\, and there is a 2-5 minute walk from the parking lot to the Education Center buildings. This program meets in the Auditorium \nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of Brooker Creek Preserve. \nSpeaker Bio: John Lampkin is an avid naturalist and Nature photographer with credits in many field guides\, books\, journals\, websites and blogs\, and he won the 2020 “American Butterflies” magazine photo contest. As a professional composer\, his woodwind quintet\, “Insects: A Musical Entomology in Six Legs” won the Grand Prize in a Composers Guild international competition. John also constructs crossword puzzles for the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, the LA Times and other venues\, with many of his puzzles having Nature themes. Except for his fascination with bugs and plants he is totally harmless.
