Outreach and Education

Using a variety of approaches--including talks, guided tours, and trail interpretation--wildlife management area staff work to enhance the public's understanding, appreciation and hopefully, protection, of the land and wildlife we manage.

At the FWC Chinsegut Nature Center in Brooksville, workshops, presentations and festivals are offered to local school and conservation groups, as well as the general public.

Wildlife biologists not only manage Florida's special and at risk populations of black bears, they help residents understand how to live with bears nearby.

On the Apalachicola River WEA, paddling enthusiasts can explore hundreds of miles of scenic natural waterways winding through pristine floodplain forests and intertidal marshes.
