SUMMARY:2023 Swamp Heritage Festival

With kid’s activities\, swamp buggies\, airboats and more\, there are opportunities for the whole family to learn and get involved!\n\nThe goal of this festival is to shine a spotlight upon the inhabitants of early south Florida\, whose rugged strength and pioneering spirit contributed to the shaping of today’s unique and diverse culture. Through living history demonstrations\, informative presentations\, and exhibits everyone can learn what daily life was like in such a remote\, and at times\, inhospitable place. It is these unique chapters in American history that add to the rich and colorful tableau that comprises our shared past and present. In 2023\, we are bringing back this perfect example of collaboration and community in order to share the knowledge and cultures of the past.

DESCRIPTION:Park Volunteer Coordinator\, Alex Gobel\, would like to invite all interested persons to visit the beautiful Fakahatchee Strand to participate in the 2023-24 Fakahatchee Strand Bio Blitz! The Bio Blitz takes place on a series of seven different dates. Those interested in volunteering may participate in as many\, or as few\, Blitzes as they would like. \nThe Bio Blitz is an important activity which assists the park staff with understanding the wildlife trends within the park\, and subsequently aids in the planning and management of the park. During the two-hour session\, volunteers are stationed along Janes Scenic Drive\, and record their wildlife observations. \nThis interesting opportunity occurs one Wednesday per month\, beginning November 2023\, through May 2024. Each month\, on the designated Wednesday\, volunteers meet at the Park Office at 7:45AM and then proceed to Blitz from 8:30-10:30AM. After the Bio Blitz concludes\, you are encouraged to remain and enjoy the park at your leisure. \nThe upcoming Bio Blitz series will take place on the following Wednesdays:\n• • December 13th\n• January 10th\n• February 7th\n• March 13th\n• April 10th\n• May 8th \nMore Info:\nAlex.gobel@floridadep.gov\n(239) 961-1925
