Florida Nature & Wildlife

Florida is the place for walking the beach and observing the creatures that share this wonderland with us. Take an actual beach walk in the course Beachcombing: Exploring the Shoreline and learn all about the shellfish and other animal and plant life to be found at the water's edge. Other Florida nature courses include Florida's Fascinating Sea Turtles, which will teach you all about the seven species of sea turtles, five of which live in Florida waters.
