I have been having a lot of success with my birding and fishing programs! I met a lot of intelligent and passionate adults and children that were very receptive to the programs, which was fulfilling for me to see. I have especially enjoyed talking with the locals of Everglades City, where the national park resides. I think this was especially important because the national park has had conflict with the older generation residents of Everglades City, since many of them had to move due to the establishment of the national park and eminent domain laws. The locals I talked to during the programs were very refreshed and happy to hear that I was able to have a conversation about the tense history between them and able to listen to their concerns and comments. Also, the children that were tourists had a great time learning how to fish in salt water and what kind of birds live in the Gulf Coast area. I think that I had a lot of fun with the smaller groups because it was a more individualized program and I actually could participate in the games/activities with them since I was not doing as much crowd control. One part of the programs that made me really happy and proud was being able to talk to the kids with different personalities — extroverted, quiet, restless, curious, short attention spans, etc. — and get them interested in the subject that was also curating to their qualities. I am a people person and it was so great to be that connection kids have to nature.
