With no fiscal feasibility report, these roads and the $Billions they will cost taxpayers don't make sense:
"lawmakers already must close a gaping hole in the state budget, thanks to the coronavirus crisis."

Ho hum, just another day in #Florida...oh, and @MyFWC researchers captured a male alligator snapping #turtle that weighed 100 pounds. https://t.co/OWrZaLJs81

Great capture by our team at Anastasia State Park! Staff followed the correct protocols by keeping their distance and not disturbing or helping the baby turtles on their first crawl to the ocean, which is crucial milestone in baby turtle development. (1/2)

It's Monday! What was the first bird you saw this week? Was it a Glossy Ibis?

Gilchrist Blue Springs is a large second magnitude spring in beautiful High Springs, Florida! 💦 Can you name the other four springs on-site that spill into the Santa Fe River? 🤔 @NaturalNorthFL @FLStateParks #LoveFL

#FloridaAquifer is composed of upper & lower aquifers through #carbonaterock which spans an area of 100,000 square miles. #FloridaSprings are the visible portion of that aquifer. It is the world's most productive aquifers and supplies #drinkingwater for nearly 10 million people.

For the people who flock to the U of #Florida bat houses every night, watching half a million bats take to the skies is quite a treat. Getting them to live in the bat houses has been a little tricky. https://t.co/69oB6go4i8

Sneak peek on #FossilFriday! This nicely intact mastodon jaw from our Montbrook #fossil dig is exciting to our paleontologist because the dentition is in great condition.
