Final Impressions

Colloquium is a great class to take. Even though it's required at my university, I would have taken it regardless. You learn so much about different things you can do to be more sustainable which is what we need to be at a time like this. I think everything we did for this class is fine. Everything was informative and helpful. All things learned in this class is extremely useful out in the world. I don't know the area of Fort Myers well enough to decide where to go other than the ones I was on, but all the trip planned were really fun.

Corkscrew Swamp Trip

My trip to the Corkscrew Swamp was a great one! Even thought i didn't go with my classmates, the trip on my own was great. I had a friend who previously went go with me. She enlightened me with so many details about the Corkscrew Swamp. I think this trip was by far the best trip out of the semester. It was fun, relaxing, and so informative.
I would definitely visit Corkscrew again. I think it was fun and so relaxing. I completely suggest this place to anyone who just wants to get away from the world and go to a peaceful place where they can sit or walk and simply think.

Estero Bay Historic Cottage and Matanzas Pass Preserve

The field trip to this preserve was very interesting. I've learned a lot about Fort Myers that I didn't know before. The speakers speech about the preserve was very informative as well. Even though the walk on the boardwalk was fairly quick, it look beautiful and the scene was great, but too many mosquito's!
It is the first time I've heard of Conservation 20/20 (http://www.conservation2020.org/index.cfm). I find it to be really intriguing.
Being that this was my first trip to a preserve, I feel like it wont be the last. I learned many things and I like to keep on learning about a cities past. In addition, I believe we should keep using tax dollars for land preservation. It is something that is going towards something good; not non-sense.
