At the Visitor s Center in Florida Caverns State Park, there s grass where once was dirt and a low fence protecting the new sod.
Benches provide visitors a place to rest.
I think it s pretty nice, said Ashley Lindquist, a Milton resident and repeat Caverns visitor. Other benches are being placed along walking trails and a row of educational markers showing local plants are planned, according to Assistant Park Manager Ben Faure. A lithograph of a plant will be accompanied by information about it, the type of plant, its uses, and whether it s toxic or non-toxic. This is so visitors can actually see the flowers and learn about them, Faure said. Connor named Chipola Alumnus of Year Staff Report Kenneth L.
