Nature Trip

AirstoND · 11-04-2012, 06:56 PM

I was interested in a nature excursion in Florida.

I was interested in finding nerite snails, plants and freshwater fish in this habitat, are there places one can snorkel and see them?

Anyone have pictures from their excursions?

I recall someone posting a thread from their trip, anyone still up for one?

TBH it sounds great but I wouldn't be able to tell you the first place to start

If you want to go snorkeling, you would most likely have to go to Northern Florida. Tom Barr holds something called "plant fest" almost every year somewhere near Gainesville and other parts in Northern Florida. There are tons of nice, clear, plant filled rivers up there. Tom also has a subsection thread/forum on his website/forum about this.

You could collect the same plants down here in 'SoFlo', but I wouldn't suggest snorkeling in freshwater here.

Hope this helps.
