Entry #3-Corkscrew field trip

There were many distinctive eco-systems we saw on our trip today and I really learned a great deal about our enivornment!!  I thought it was really cool that they had the giant "bins" filled with plants and trees that naturally purified the water. 

"The programs and activities at Audubon Centers and Sanctuaries reflect the three pillars of Audubon’s mission: education, science, and conservation action, adapted to the specific Center site and to the community it serves. With its goal of helping people discover, learn about, and care for nature close to home, Audubon is continuing its commitment to establishing Centers in communities that have the least access to nature."(corkscrew audubon website)  Responsibility to take care of something belonging to someone else (or the environment) is important to many people who work for non-profit orgnizations.  Every little effort that any person makes to do this can make a huge impact and promote change.  We all have to work together and do our part to conserve what is left. 

The original purchase of the land was for the audubon group to collect their "bird" feathers to make their fancy hats and have since then added on to their land.  Why would we want to bulldoze and build condos on such beautiful land?  All of the different plants and areas work together in their own little ecosystem and provide something different that another may not be able to do.  If we were to tear down this land, we would be taking a large area that is preserved to stay as natural as possible and make sure that we have some type of "natural" area remaining so we do not destroy the little that we do have left.
