Sites to Visit
We hope you can get outside and explore the plants alive and in person. We suggest that for each habitat type, if you can, you visit a site representing that habitat, sending us 10 photos of plants you identify. Remember that each lesson has a reference gallery of photos to help, and you already ordered our guidebook as described in Lesson 1. Take a partner, sun protection, water, the study guides, bug spray if you need it, and a camera or cell phone with a camera.
The sites listed below are generally ones we know well, except those in Broward County, which were suggested by a far-flung correspondent well versed in nature study there. Feel invited to e-mail and ask about sites, if you go.
Martin, Palm Beach and Broward counties all have web sites with directions to sites. To avoid dead links we have provided links to the county natural areas lists but not to the natural areas individually. We especially like the state parks.
