My overall thoughts on the field trip to the corkscrew swamp sanctuary were that it was awesome! The only thing i wish that we could have done was walk the ENTIRE boardwalk since we only got to do sections of it. The cypress trees are amazing and the overall feel and look is unbelievable. It was interesting to see the different aspects of the eco-system that exists there and how everything works together to keep it the way it is. We got to saw an alligator just floating around in the swamp, and also we saw a million spiders and heard birds calling. I wish we could have stayed longer to see if any other animals would have made their way out of their places. The Friday after the field trip I took a trip to Fort Lauderdale and caught myself staring more at the sides of the road and looking past the trees and imagining what I saw out there for miles and miles. I kept trying to figure out if the trees I was seeing were cypress trees and if it looks just like it did on the field trip. It made me wish I could have walked through the entire swamp and compare all of the different areas. It really did amaze me and I think I might go back just to walk the entire boardwalk again. As little as I thought I might be interested in this class in the beginning, it really is giving me a new perspective and I have caught myself explaining and telling others of all of the cool places we have gone to in the area that I have never known were here! I told my boyfriend that I was taking it to the sanctuary….hopefully with less people following along we can be quieter and more birds and animals will come out to see us!!
