Interterm is full of trips ,and today we would like to talk
about another trip. The Florida Ecology
trip happens once every four years and is a wonderful experience and for all
who participate. Professor Mike Craig
sets out on a journey with a number of students, a van, and some hardcore
tents. There will be no fancy hotels or
luxury buses for this crew. They will be
roughing it. They will hike, swim,
climbing, camp, and make many of their meals around a camp fire. 
Now, I must admit if I was planning a vacation this would
not be my first thought. However, these
rough and tough students are not on vacation, but there to study ecology. They will be learning about natural environments
and animals. The highlight for many I am
sure will be a quick trip to the Florida Keys, where they will swim with the
fishes and investigate the beautiful shells they find around the beach. Professor Craig said that many of the
students enjoy creating a shell collection.
The trip holds the possibility of excitement, adventure, and
getting to learn about ecology from a hands on approach. The only thing that could be more exciting
for these science students would be getting to wrestle a gator while they are
there.
