Planning a trip to FL? Want to partake in a superb workshop with manatees? Check this one out! This workshop is designed for adults and children 8+ years old who want to learn about how to combine field work and respectful wildlife interactions with community advocacy for wildlife. The only requirements are the ability to swim and a sense of adventure. This will be a small, intimate group of 12 maximum. Not only that - it's led by our awesome friend Samantha Whitcraft!
