Host:

Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition

Event Description:

Join us to celebrate the final days of the 100-day, 1,000-mile expedition from the Florida Everglades to the Okefenokee Swamp in Southern Georgia. Florida Wildlife Corridor explorers -- photographer Carlton Ward Jr, bear biologist Joe Guthrie, conservationist Mallory Lykes Dimmitt and filmmaker Elam Stoltzfus -- will share their adventures with supporters, partners and you. The team closes out the 2012 Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition within the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, appropriately on Earth Day -- day 97 of their 100-day trek. Celebration attendees will learn about the Florida Wildlife Corridor from individuals who experienced it first hand, and take part in the region’s only official “Picnic for the Planet” event, part of The Nature Conservancy’s national effort to set a world record for the most outdoor picnics being held on Earth Day weekend. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs for an afternoon of fun, food and entertainment as we celebrate the Expedition Team's accomplishments. The event begins at 11:00 a.m.
