Florida endemic species

We roam the Apalachicola National Forest around Sumatra, where we find rare carnivorous plants and a recently burned pitcher plant bog.

We trek through the Apalachicola Lowlands Preserve five weeks after a prescribed burn, in search of the rare plants that define the region.

We look at the many plants and animals- including a few rare ones- that make the Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines a top biodiversity hotspot.

We go to Bald Point to talk to Susan Cerulean about her new book, a reflection on her father’s dementia, and on the loss of shorebirds and their habitat.

Our family hikes the Garden of Eden Trail through steephead ravines, a recently burned longleaf forest, and up to Florida’s highest river bluff.

Beneath scenic Merritt’s Mill Pond in Jackson County, Florida, researchers from Florida A&M University discover a new species of cave crustacean.

We go in search of Chapman’s rhododendron and other rare, fire dependent plants in the St. Joseph Bay State Buffer Preserve.
