About This Activity
Nature’s MVPS – Meet Florida’s Keystone Species Not all animals have the same impact on their ecosystems! This week is all about keystone species and why some creatures are essential to the health of entire habitats. We'll focus on two Florida icons—the gopher tortoise and the American alligator—and explore how their homes and behaviors support countless other plants and animals. Join us on a journey to the uplands, a place often overlooked when it comes to wild Florida. Content and activities tailored for ages 10 - 15. Homeschool at Sea courses are designed to be drop-off programs. However, parents/guardians are welcome to shadow—only ONE adult chaperone per family. For all programs, ONLY registered participants are allowed to attend (no younger or older non-registered siblings).
