I hope everyone is starting to get excited about our trip to Blue Spring State Park, Florida! While we're there we'll be working with park rangers on service-learning projects geared around biodiversity, the environment, and conservation of it. Blue Spring State Park is home to lots of native Florida plants and critters, and is actually a designated Manatee Refuge. While we're there, we're sure to see some of the native population of West Indian manatees that spend the winter in the park.
