Babcock-Webb WMA |
For nearly a decade now, I have been a staff photographer for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, aka FWC. In the Public Access and Wildlife Viewing Office we promote a wide range of recreational uses of our vast FWC-managed public lands throughout Florida. We want to get Floridians and visitors off their duffs and outdoors: hiking, wildlife viewing, paddling, fishing, enjoying photography, picnicking, studying nature, bicycling, horseback riding, camping, and hunting. Our Wildlife Management Areas and Wildlife and Environmental Areas are places that welcome visitors, but lots of people don't know about them. But the animals do. These lands are managed for and used by wild turkeys, gopher tortoises, deer, and thousands of other animal species, not to mention the natural Florida flora. So you may want to join the other critters out there at an FWC site near you, once you see what you're missing. Find out about properties near you here: http://myfwc.com/
A month ago I made a loop around the state photographing a selection of areas where brochures, signs, educational kiosks, and/or websites need updating. What a great assignment, eh? Here's a sampling of some of the sites I visited, as well as a few from other FWC shoots.
Let's start with Chassahowitzka WMA:
Then there is the jewel of Babcock-Webb WMA in Charlotte County.

Nice work, David.... as usual.
Absolutely stunning, David! The FWC is sooooo fortunate to have hooked up with you, as are we. Thanks for sharing your fabulous work.

Thanks Greg, Judye, and all others who've tried to leave a comment. I've had feedback that Blogger is having trouble accepting comments. ?!?
Beautiful shots, David. Where is that last spring in the Chaz group of photos? - it looks like it's right in the middle of a forest and rarely visited. We plan on spending every Thanksgiving in that area, and I want to go there.
Sasquatch: That is Buford Spring. And yes, it is in the middle of a swamp and has no trail or signage. I can't describe how to get there (I'd probably get you lost.) Ask at Chaz.
Beautiful Work! Doing my best to get all these city folks out to!
