Offering ranger programs and classes.

Programs offered at Seminole Rest:

Lagoon Experience (4th – 5th Grade)
Students work in small groups with an adult chaperone using a seine net to capture animal species found in the Mosquito Lagoon. Captured animals are studied and identified and placed back in the lagoon.

Manatees: Guardians of the Seagrass (3rd-5th grade)
Students will explore the mission and function of a national seashore. Participants will learn about the important role these protected areas play in conserving natural habitats and wildlife. Through engaging, hands-on activities, students will be able to identify manatees, understand their characteristics as mammals and herbivores, and discover their ecological importance. The program also emphasizes conservation by empowering students to list and commit to at least two actions they can take to help protect manatees and their environment.
