Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary

 It wasn’t my first time at Corkscrew and most likely won’t be my last. I really do enjoy nature and being outdoors. I like to spend time in natural parks and take advantage of the Florida outdoors. I had attended Corkscrew when I was in environmental biology of SWFL. I think this Sanctuary is amazing and has a lot to offer to the residents and tourists of SWFL. It is a beautiful place and sometimes when you are lucky you even get to see something cool, like an alligator!
On our field trip to Corkscrew we were lucky enough to see two alligators very close to us. We also saw a turtle and my favorite a Swalled Tailed Kite. This became my favorite bird while taking environmental biology of SWFL and every time I see it, I tell myself it is going to be a great day! It is really neat that they have baby alligators on display and their gift shop is totally cool. I found it interesting that their prices were very reasonable for items in the bookstore and if I were there leisurely I probably would have bought an item or two.



Overall, I really think it was a great field trip and the fact that they have a very sustainably restroom facility is awesome. They are helping out the environment in SWFL everyday. Colloquium should definitely keep this as a field trip and get students more involved at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.
