A married couple buys the swamp behind their house to manage it as a preserve. Among the ecological treasures here is a wood stork rookery.

We watch seasonal change in two Tallahassee locations, Lake Elberta (an urban park) and in the Munson Sandhills region of the Apalachicola National Forest.

The City Nature Challenge is a competition, but also a way for us to explore the biodiversity of the Tallahassee area. What did we all see?

Adopt an Ephemeral Wetland is citizen science focused on amphibians. But participants will also learn about seasonality and the forest around wetlands.

In the Munson Sandhills, citizen scientists are monitoring the rare frosted elfin butterfly. This insect needs fire to survive- at the right time of year.

We have one hour on FAMU’s campus to observe as much wildlife as we can using iNaturalist. Our adventure leads us into a forest of invasive species.

To make Lake Elberta a better bird habitat, Apalachee Audubon is enhancing plant life here. What lessons can we take when creating our pollinator habitats?

Lake Elberta attracts a wealth of birds, from wood storks to migratory ducks and birds. Apalachee Audubon is enhancing this habitat further.

We get to know iNaturalist at L. Kirk Edwards WEA, a little known preserve in Tallahassee. Here, wet and dry habitats that teem with plant and animal life.

Two releases of striped newts into ephemeral wetlands in the Apalachicola National Forest show how this is an amphibian forged by fire.
