Eco-Rangers Club is run by Julie Gabrovic. It is an after-school club for third graders that met weekly at Wekiwa Springs State Park. Next Generation Sunshine State Science Standards were used as the foundation for planning activities for these science minded kids. Collaborating with the park's rangers, the students have been studying the natural Sandhill ecosystem, animals including the gopher tortoise, plants, water conservation, and prescribed fire.
It has been an exciting experience to take advantage of a wonderful resource that is in our own backyard!
