Part two of our Green Guide EcoAdventure takes us down the Wacissa River. One of our Guides was George Weymouth, a painter, sculptor, and arrowhead maker with an intense eye for detail. Watch this web exclusive video to see how he plucks a scene from his memory and layers on feathers, scales, and ripples.

EcoAdventures North Florida travels up the St. Marks River in search of some local history in this video featuring Captain James Hodges, a Wakulla Green Guide.

We’ve been busy working on the north Florida part of the NOVA | PBS #ClimateAcrossAmerica initiative. Our first story for that initiative has just dropped, on protecting Florida’s coasts from storm surge. We’ve been out in the field recently for a few other stories you won’t want to miss

Fire and Black Carbon in the Longleaf Forest

Prescribed fire helps maintain biodiversity in longleaf ecosystems, but it releases carbon into the atmosphere. Despite this, burning might help these systems store carbon in the long term. This is our second story for the #ClimateAcrossAmerica initiative.

Black and Yellow Rails: the most secretive birds in North America

Fire also helps maintain biodiversity in coastal salt marshes. We head to the coast with Tall Timbers Research Station in search of two seldom seen birds that rely on fire: black and yellow rails.

The Brown-Headed Nuthatch, a bird with a unique family structure

Back at Tall Timbers, we visit the nests of one of the cutest inhabitants of the longleaf forest, the brown-headed nuthatch. It’s one of a few birds where extended family help raise young.
