Okefenokee Okefenokee Swamp, in South Georgia, is one of the most ecologically intact swamps in North America. This program seeks the long-term protection of the area. The highly endangered Florida panther once roamed freely throughout the swamps and forests of the Southeast. This program fights to preserve the sole remaining population of panthers in south Florida by protecting vital habitat. This program, geared for grades K-12, offers teacher workshops, classroom materials and web resources.
Volunteers also lead workshops in classrooms.
Backyard Wildlife Habitat Backyards can be great habitats for wildlife if they offer food, water, cover and places to raise young. This program teaches people how to assess their yard and make it wildlife-friendly. Then the yard can be certified. Now schools and businesses are getting involved too. All rights reserved.
