Dr. Goodman and 3 students from the Herpetology BIO 385 class recently attended the annual Southeastern Partners in Amphibian & Reptile Conservation<\/a> meeting. The SEPARC<\/a> meeting was held during Feb 18-21 at Camp Ocala in the Ocala National Forest, Florida. We got to see some great talks and posters, network with scientists and conservation practitioners, attend workshops, and more\u2026<\/p>\n

Our rustic cabins with … Bunks!<\/p>\n

We got to take canoes out on Sellars Lake, which is right next to the campground<\/p>\n

Lots of great research posters and local species of herps to learn about (baby gopher tortoise here).<\/p>\n

We also took a short detour to see a large group of manatees that comes into a natural hot spring to warm up in this chilly weather. The count that day was 176, up from only a dozen before the area was protected in the 1970\u2019s. <\/span>Definitely worth the trip to Blue Spring National Park<\/a>– a must if you\u2019re near Orlando!\u00a0 We were close enough to touch them, though we didn’t (see sign on below-left; below-right photo source: USFWS Digital Library<\/a>).<\/p>\n
