All trips are sponsored by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, Sarasota Bay Estuary Program, Manatee-Sarasota Fish and Game Association, or Manatee Education Foundation. We will be using the watershed as an overarching concept and incorporating local history and ecology at each site. All trips are standards-based and correlated to state and national standards.
Around the Bend Nature Tours is pleased to announce that we are now a Business Partner with the Curriculum Team of the Manatee County School Board!
We facilitate the learning!
You can relax and allow our
