ENP Eco Tour
Experimental Science 3 students spent the day studying in the Everglades. The two-part trip toured Everglades National Park and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.
First, at the Visitor Center of ENP, they walked the Anhinga and Gumbo Limbo trails. Then at Pennekamp they boarded a glass-bottomed catamaran to examine the shallow reef wildlife.
