For sheer species diversity, Florida’s western panhandle is tough to beat. The area harbors incredible habitat diversity, from some of the Gulf’s most pristine beaches to some of the last remaining old-growth longleaf pine savanna. Not surprisingly, such habitat diversity equates to a tremendous richness of plant and animal species. Endemic fish, salamanders, dragonflies, and even an endemic frog thrive in the unique natural communities. Add an unparalleled variety of carnivorous plants, endangered rec-cockaded woodpeckers and numerous other rare species and you get an ecosystem like nowhere else on Earth. We hope you’ll join us as we explore it at the 2020 Wildlife Viewing and Nature Tourism Academy.
