Join WFSU Public Media and The Nature Conservancy in Florida (TNC) for a thirty-minute virtual field trip to one of Florida’s lesser-known treasures: the Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines. The target audience for this field trip is students in grades 6- 12.

The Apalachicola Bluffs and Ravines region is like nowhere else in Florida. Fifty miles from the coast, the Apalachicola River crosses an ancient shoreline. High above the river, sand dunes from long-gone islands are home to truly distinctive geology and biology.

We start up on the bluffs, where The Nature Conservancy has been restoring fire-dependent longleaf habitats since the 1980s. From these pine savannas, we climb down into steep-head ravines, a unique geological phenomenon filled with rare plants and animals.
