Alligators: Florida’s Ultimate Survivors

a nature talk program w/FL Dept of Environmental Protection

Come learn about alligators with Tyler Byrd, a member of the Florida Conservation Corps and Florida State Parks.

Alligator Mother and Baby

Alligators are some of Florida’s most iconic animals, and use various survival tools throughout their lives in order to thrive in Florida’s wetlands. As apex predators, they play a vital role in keeping Florida’s environment healthy and running smoothly! However, alligators can be pretty scary! Come learn about these amazing animals with Tyler Byrd, a member of the Florida Conservation Corps and Florida State Parks, and maybe turn some of that fear into respect for one of Florida’s coolest predators! Afterwards, kids can become Junior Rangers and learn more about our state parks, as well as the plants and animals that call all 175 of them home!
