Several Flagship campus students now have a better understanding of Florida ecology thanks to a visit to the Grassy Waters Preserve, an over 23 square mile wetlands ecosystem which serves as the fresh water supply to the City of West Palm Beach.
“The field trip served as a great introduction to the Florida Everglades for our students,” said Professor Elsa Krauss. In addition to learning about Native American tribes who once inhabited the preserve, the group of Environmental Science students had the opportunity to identify native plant and animal species while gaining an appreciation for the extensive restoration and preservation efforts devoted to the area and the importance they have on the environment.
“Opportunities such as this are invaluable to students, as they demonstrate the importance of our natural wetlands and reinforce the important role that we play in preserving them,” said Michael Sawney, Keiser University’s Flagship Campus International Student Specialist who also serves as an academic advisor and instructor.
Historically a key component of the Greater Everglades watershed and the headwaters of the Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River, Grassy Waters Preserve includes a variety of wetlands, tree islands, and forested hammocks. It serves as home to native wildlife including the everglades snail kite, wood stork, white ibis, great blue heron, white tailed deer, otter, bobcat, alligator and more.
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
