"Hands on the Everglades"

A cooperative program that FCE offered with Everglades National Park from 2003 to 2005. Teachers were provided instructional materials on Florida Coastal Everglades ecology and sampling procedures. Students from a Hialeah Elementary School visited a hammock in Everglades National Park or Florida International University's Preserve during the wet and dry seasons. They collected data on invertebrates, litterfall, soils, and other variables. FCE personnel were on hand to help students collect data.
