I had a great time this year and have feeling that I will continue to return like so many other activists, scientists, and naturalists alike. The energy that stirred in the sessions and speakers was a great reprieve from the usual hum drum of conferences. Everyone there was energized and filled with information.
2010 is indeed the Year of the Everglades. Since there was so much information I would like to share, I am going to have short profiles throughout the next few postings profiling people and organizations that really WOWed me.
I'll start off with Rob Clift, with the National Parks Conservation Ass. and Eco-Mariner: www.ecomariner.org
Rob showed me how quick and easy (literally 2 minutes to register) it was to sign up on the site for a FREE online course to make boating more environmentally friendly. His project is specific to Florida Bay, but really can be applied to almost any boating environment. I enjoyed the information about Florida Bay too. The course is an hour long and can be broken up in segments. Check it out!!!
The other WOWer is the Paper Folding art that is a permanent collection at the Morikami Museum in Delray Beach. The display at the conference comprised a collection of birds, reptiles, and other Florida animals. The hand made paper and sculptures are beautiful.
