Students observe flora, fauna at preserve
SANIBEL-CAPTIVA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION
Kindergarteners from The Sanibel School recently took part in a multi-faceted scavenger hunt for plants and wildlife at the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation’s Pick Preserve nature trail. Led by SCCF educator Richard Finkel, the students looked up and down, listened for and felt some of the inhabitants within Sanibel’s interior habitats. Spoonbills, egrets, ibises, swallow-tailed kites, osprey, sea grape, cabbage palms, strangler figs, snails, fish, dragonflies, spider webs and even an alligator were observed from the boardwalk. Students used their observations to discuss food chains and food webs.
