Live on FEC - Grand Opening of the E.O. Wilson Biophilla Center at Nokuse Planation
The Florida Education Channel will air live the Grand Opening of the E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center at Nokuse Planatation, Saturday, September 12th, from 3:00-5:00 pm Central time.
The E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center is an environmental education facility serving students, teachers and professional audiences. Its mission is to educate visitors on the importance of biodiversity, to promote sustainable balanced ecosystems, and to encourage conservation, preservation and restoration.
Visitors at the E.O. Wilson Biophilia Center will have an opportunity to learn about the natural environment through interpretive exhibits as well as an extensive trail system through natural areas undergoing ecological restoration on the nature preserve. In addition, this facility will be promoted as a gathering place for local and regional scientists to conduct ecological research and participate in symposia that disseminate this research to the public. By offering weeklong curriculum that coincides with the Florida Sunshine State Standards, our young citizens will have a better understanding and knowledge for science portions of the FCAT, while promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematic (STEM) subjects, and providing opportunities for inquiry, investigation and innovation so that in long-term we all may become better stewards during our journey on this planet.
