TownIt: Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary - ^
Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, located in Collier and Lee Counties of southwest Florida, is a 13,000 acre wildlife sanctuary established in 1954. The sanctuary contains representatives of south Florida’s major upland and freshwater wetland ecosystems that have not been noticeably affected by pronounced human disturbances. Relatively stable communities have evolved here in response to natural regimes of fire, water, soil, and climate. Natural resource management is a priority at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. The resource management program focuses on five principle components: hydrology, invasive species, fire, wildlife, and human access. Moreover, our management efforts are directed by data gathered from sound scientific research.

You know, I have to tell you, I really enjoy this blog and the insight from everyone who participates. I find it to be refreshing and very informative. I wish there were more blogs like it. Anyway, I felt it was about time I posted, I’ve spent most of my time here just lurking and reading, but today for some reason I just felt compelled to say this.
