SUMMARY:Intro to Beekeeping
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Beekeeping:\nA Hobby with Sweet Rewards\n~ Session 1 of 3 ~\nThis program will introduce you to the basics of honey bees\, their behavior\, biology and the guiding principles of beekeeping. \nInstructor: Robert Burkard\, President of the Friends of Brooker Creek Preserve’s Beekeepers Club \nWhy honey bees? In addition to the personal satisfaction of harvesting your own pure natural honey\, many of our food staples would disappear without honey bees for pollination. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture\, these under-appreciated workers pollinate 80 percent of our flowering crops\, which constitute one-third of everything we eat. Hobbyist beekeepers play a vital role in keeping our honey bee population healthy. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \nWant to take the entire series? \nRegister for Part 2 on Sunday July 14th here! \nRegister for Part 3 on Sunday July 21st here! \nAdditional Notes: This program will be held in our auditorium. 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 auditorium. Follow signs to the auditorium.

SUMMARY:Why Snakes are Cool
DESCRIPTION:Learn why snakes are cool and the important ecological roles they play! \nThere are 46 native species of snakes in Florida and most occur in the central peninsula. Despite playing important ecological roles as both predators and prey\, snakes remain highly misunderstood vertebrates. Only four venomous species occur in central Florida and these snakes present little danger when left alone. Local herpetologist and environmental educator George L. Heinrich (Heinrich Ecological Services) will present on why snakes are cool\, emphasizing Florida snake diversity\, natural history\, conservation\, and snake safety. \nA selection of LIVE snakes will be available for viewing and handling if participants choose to do so (we hope that you will). *This program is recommended for adults and children 7+ \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 or “Butterfly Room”. \n*Please note this will be an hour long educational PowerPoint presentation with an opportunity to handle snakes at the very end. If your child cannot sit through the entire presentation\, please bring them out of the room to avoid disruption of the program\, and as a courtesy to those that are here to learn. We appreciate your cooperation\, and thank you in advance. \n———————————————————————————- \nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of Brooker Creek Preserve. \n \nSpeaker Bio: George L. Heinrich is a field biologist and environmental educator specializing in Florida reptiles. His company\, Heinrich Ecological Services (www.heinrichecologicalservices.com)\, 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 (www.ftct.org). \n

SUMMARY:Youth Action Through Roots & Shoots
DESCRIPTION:Youth have the power to build a better world! \n“Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.” These are the wise words of Dr. Jane Goodall\, an icon in the world of chimpanzee research and species conservation. In 1991\, Dr. Jane launched her youth program\, Roots & Shoots\, to empower young people to make a difference in their own way. Roots & Shoots supports youth projects in over 60 countries worldwide\, and in September\, Roots & Shoots opened an office in Tampa Bay! What does this mean for you? If you have an idea for a service project benefiting animals\, people\, or the environment we all share\, Roots & Shoots offers resources to help make it happen. Roots & Shoots supports youth projects in any setting: individuals\, families\, schools\, after school programs\, clubs\, home schools\, or nonprofit organizations serving youth. Come join Bonnie Eaton\, coordinator for Roots & Shoots – Tampa Bay\, to learn more about Roots & Shoots and how to get started on a project! \nFor more information\, check out https://rootsandshoots.org. \n\n>>> REGISTER HERE <<< \n \n
