Florida Keys Wildlife Law Battlefield Tour
A limited number of seminar participants can travel to the Upper Keys on January19, 2001, in conjunction with the program.
Anticipate a six hour program that features visits to the Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge, the Key Largo Hammocks State Botanical Site, and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
These areas have been battlegrounds that have helped shape wildlife law and the tour is intended to provide
real-world links between the wildlife and habitat of the Keys and
wildlife-related laws and litigation. Interpretation of the various sites will include biological and legal viewpoints.
Transportation will be provided and participants will be expected to pay for their own lunch at one of the Key's fine dining establishments. Average temperatures range between 60°F and 75°F. Hiking attire and insect protection is recommended.
