Our springs are not only a valuable water resource and outdoor leisure destination, they are unique, fragile ecosystems that are profoundly affected by human activity.

Take a virtual deep dive into Florida’s springs with us and University of Florida Thompson Earth Systems Institute.

Two special films about Florida biodiversity will be posted here from April 22 to April 27 and the Museum’s YouTube channel!
