So\, if you’re trying to decide which native plants to acquire\, or wondering if your plot of land or balcony is big enough\, or which native plants your HOA will most likely allow\, this five-week series will help provide answers.  \nTaking place on various Saturday mornings from January 4 – March 29\, 2025\, we will explore five diverse urban and suburban habitats that nourish birds\, butterflies\, and pollinators with their fruit\, nectar\, seeds and leaves\, and visit two native plant nurseries.

SUMMARY:Fireflies of Florida
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a closer look at a diverse\, overlooked\, and threatened fauna!\n\n\nFireflies in Florida?! Many Florida residents have never seen a lightning bug in the Sunshine State\, despite it being home to more species than any other state. In this virtual presentation\, Richard Joyce will explore firefly natural history and conservation\, with a focus on the species found in Florida and special attention to the Florida intertidal firefly\, an imperiled species that may be awaiting discovery in Palm Beach County. Learn about the threats to fireflies and how they can be addressed. Finally\, the presentation will introduce viewers to the activity of “fireflying” and provide an invitation to participate in the Firefly Atlas\, a community science project of the Xerces Society. \nAbout the Presenter \nRichard Joyce is an endangered species conservation biologist at the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation\, whose mission is to protect the natural world by conserving invertebrates and their habitats. Before joining the Xerces Society three years ago\, Richard worked at The Nature Conservancy in Maine\, the Maine Natural Areas Program\, and Congaree National Park. He currently resides in Amherst\, Massachusetts\, but has made annual trips to Florida for firefly fieldwork. \nLearn more here: \nXerces Society (https://xerces.org/)Firefly Atlas (https://www.fireflyatlas.org/)

SUMMARY:Florida Scrub Jay Walk
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a short walk as you witness the behavior of these endemic birds.\n\n\nThrough a partnership with Jonathan Dickinson State Park\, Audubon Everglades invites you to join us on their Florida Scrub Jay Walk. \nMeeting Place: From the check in station\, take a left turn less than 1/4 mile from the park entrance. There will be a parking lot on the right-hand side. \nYou will see an information sign Camp Murphy Off Road Bridge trail. \nEntrance Fee is $ 6.00 per vehicle. \nThe Florida scrub jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) is one of the species of scrub jay native to North America. It is the only species of bird endemic to the U.S. state of Florida and one of only 15 species endemic to the continental United States. \nThe path is a well-documented spot where scrub jays have congregated for years\, and the federally-threatened birds are seen on most outings but not assured – they are wild animals. Any lightning close enough to hear thunder will cause immediate cancellation of the tour. Your guide\, Jim Howe\, will also accentuate the Florida scrub ecosystem itself and why fire is essential\, while pointing out gopher tortoise burrows and unique plants found only at JDSP. \nWalk meets less than 1/4 mile from the park entrance\, along the road to the Pine Grove Campground. We will take a once well-paved road\, that is now for foot and bicycle traffic only. The walk is between 1/4 and 1/2 mile in length\, on gently rolling\, open scrub terrain. \nRestrooms are located at the following locations: (bear Right from entrance) \nThe bicycling staging area at the Railroad Track Crossing. (porta-potty) \nThe Visitors Center at the back of the property\, about 4 miles in. \nThis is a monthly event\, the first Wednesday of the month.

An accomplished photographer from a young age\, John’s passion for wildlife led him to document the rich biodiversity of Florida after moving to the U.S. \nIn 2008\, John transitioned from still photography to high-definition video\, allowing him to capture the dynamic behaviors of animals. To deepen his understanding of Florida’s environment\, he became a Florida Master Naturalist through the University of Florida in 2012. \nJohn is the president of the Martin County Audubon Chapter and spends nearly every week exploring the wilds of South and Central Florida\, often enduring challenging conditions to get the perfect shot. He also hosts “The Audubon Moment\,” a public radio show offering tips on identifying Florida’s diverse bird species. \n\n\n\nPhoto Credit: Stuart Magazine
