The Outdoor Program Center at Bemidji State University is offering a sea kayaking trip to the Everglades National Park on the southern tip of Florida January 2-14. Open to BSU students and the general public, the trip offers a singular opportunity to explore diverse environments during one outing. The Everglades National Park contains both temperate and tropical plant communities, including sawgrass prairies, mangrove and cypress swamps, pinelands and hardwood hammocks, as well as marine and estuarine environments. This is a great trip for those who want to experience an endangered ecosystem and learn about it first-hand. This trip is one of the newest additions to the variety of excursions that the OPC offers, including an opportunity to snorkel and explore the Everglades by foot.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
A pre-trip meeting will be held at 7 p.m. December 12 at the OPC, located in the lower level of the Hobson Memorial Union.
