Scrub Habitat Tech Kit

This Tech Kit developed by Around the Bend Nature Tours is available on loan from the Sarasota Bay Estuary P.I.E.R. Program for a period of up to 2 weeks. Students will discover how the Florida scrub habitat is significant to aquifer recharge, local ecology and why habitat restoration including prescribed fire, is critical to the survival of the endemic scrub jay species and the keystone species gopher tortoise.
