SUMMARY:FAM Archaeology Kayak Experience
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an archaeology-focused paddle trip to an excavation site at the Weedon Island Preserve. \n\n\n\nJoin archaeologists and environmental specialists for a unique archaeology-focused paddling event. This is a one-of-a-kind event\, featuring local experts who will guide your experience of the natural and cultural history of Weedon Island.  \nThe trip begins with a paddle from Weedon Island’s fishing pier to Ross Island\, a nearby island within the Preserve’s boundary. On Ross Island\, participants will explore an archaeological site with Kendal Jackson\, a PhD candidate with the University of South Florida who works on Ross Island as part of his doctorate research. \nThis trip will be led by Rachael Kangas\, Director of the West Central division of The Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN)\, and Dr. Bob Austin with the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education\, Inc. (AWIARE). They will make stops along the way to discuss archaeological and historical aspects of the area. In addition\, environmental specialists from ECOmersion will be on the water to interpret the Preserve’s natural areas and enhance participants’ understanding of estuaries. \n\nParticipants must be 18 years of age or older. Kayaks will be provided by ECOmersion. Those who prefer to use their own kayaks are welcome to do so\, however\, neither Sun Dolphin nor Pelican brand kayaks will be allowed.\nAttendees will meet at 7:30 a.m. at the fishing pier/kayak launch located inside the Weedon Island Preserve. This kayak trip will be moderately strenuous and is not recommended for first-time paddlers.\n\nProceeds from this program go to support ECOmersion\, AWIARE and FPAN \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<<

SUMMARY:Cure Your Crabbiness: Explore Weedon’s World of Crabs
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn more about the types of crabs that we find at Weedon Island and why mangroves are important for these special animals. \n\n\nHave you ever wanted to know more about the small crabs climbing on the mangrove trees along the boardwalk? Join us to learn more about the types of crabs that we find at Weedon Island and why mangroves are important for these special animals. \nThis program will include a presentation inside the Cultural and Natural History Center\, followed by a short walk along the boardwalk to see these crabs up close. \nThis program will be led by Olivia Blondheim\, a Biological Oceanography doctoral student at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science. Her research explores the function of species at the transition zones between habitats. She is interested in the role of mangrove crabs in marine ecosystems and whether that role changes across mangrove and salt marsh habitats. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \nPinellas County complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
