Join UF IFAS Extension Pinellas and Polk Counties to celebrate wildlife on Wednesdays this summer!

The 2019 series takes place on the first Wednesday of the month, June – September, 2019. The webinars are from 12:15 PM – 1PM and therefore, are perfect for a fun and educational lunch break!

Each webinar, 45 minutes in length, will share information on wildlife found in Central Florida. Wildlife Wednesday webinars will highlight some frequently encountered wildlife, ways to identify these different species, and discuss their role and importance in Florida ecosystems.The webinars do have a central Florida focus but the information presented is applicable to most of the state.

These events take place online, in a webinar room. Registered participants will receive the weblink via email at the time of registration and again, 30 minutes prior to the start of the webinar.

If you prefer to watch this webinar with a group, the City of Winter Haven Library will be hosting and live-streaming the event at their location. For more information, contact the Library here: https://www.mywinterhaven.com/venue/winter-haven-library/
