Check out the video below for FSC's live discussion on springs recreation
On July 31, Conservation photographer Linda Wilinski, Taylor Masnjak, the owner of Get Up & Go Weeki Wachee, and Bill Weinaug, the owner of Wekiva Island, joined us for a discussion on the intersection of recreation and conservation in Florida's springs.
Linda explained the art of conservation photography and how to respect wildlife when visiting springs; Taylor shared educational resources and her support for the Weeki Wachee springs protection zone; and Bill shared the sustainability practices Wekiva Island has implemented and what can be replicated at other businesses to protect the ecology of the springs and rivers for future generations.
What’s one tip you’d give visitors to help protect the springs for future generations? During our discussion on springs recreation, our panel said: 💧 Stay in your kayak 💧 Don’t harass wildlife 💧 Quit using fertilizer
