When we went on field trip to Corkscrew sanctuary it was actually my second time visiting and this time I actually liked it more than the first time that I went. I think the biggest difference is that the first time that I went I just went with a friends and we didn’t have a personal tour guide we just walked around by ourselves. Plus, last time that I went my friend and I got chased by a raccoon, and that is never fun!!! L
This time when I went I got so much more information about not only how the sanctuary itself was started and what it’s about, but more the actual animals that reside in the area. One of the most interesting things that I learned this time around was that way back in the day when women used to use bird feathers in their hats that was actually literally killing of the indigenous birds that resided in Southwest Florida. Some of the birds actually resided in the sanctuary. Well (I can’t remember her name) but there was this one lady (YES A WOMEN) who helped start the sanctuary and she helped put awareness out to people letting them know that they were killing the birds and therefore helping save the birds.
Anyways I really enjoyed our tour guide too, he was super down to earth and when he was giving us our tour he really related a lot of stuff about conservation and the environment directly back to use and gave us ideas of things that we could to as college students to help it out.
