Field Trips

The Wekiva River Aquatic Preserve partnered with Rollins College’s Environmental Studies Department to host two different field trips – Nature Spirituality and Environmental Crisis in its Cultural Context. Nature Spirituality students arrived at Wekiwa Springs State Park an hour before the park opened for sunrise meditation followed by discussions about Wekiwa Springs’ cultural, historical and environmental significance. Later that morning, the Environmental Crisis in its Cultural Context class arrived at Gemini Springs to discuss water conservation and resource management. Students discussed and explored some of the most beloved local springs in perfect October weather.
