Participants in this special project will study the plants, animals, habitats, and urgent ecological difficulties of tropical Florida. Along the way we will sample the extraordinary and diverse human cultures of the area.

South Florida is a biological crossroads, with habitats ranging from the mangroves, sawgrass prairie, and tropical hardwood hammocks of the Everglades to the coral reefs of the Keys. Wintering birds and Caribbean plants add to the wild mixture to be found nowhere else in mainland America.

Students will have opportunities to view most of the major habitat types to be found in the area, as well as gaining an appreciation for the many and difficult conservation problems confronting south Florida today,
