During this weekend, I had a wonderful opportunity to
attend 13th Orlando Wetlands Festival.
If
opportunities are available in any community, these types of events should be
conducted for the betterment of communities, societies, groups and environment.
Parks and Recreation Department gave us a free backyard tree in
celebration of Arbor Day.
We received a cherry
plum tree. Hopefully one day we will get excellent plums from this tree in our
backyard.
Update:
Reaping the benefits of this cherry plum that was planted:
Wetlands are very
important environment for every country in the planet. Also wide ranges of
fauna and flora are available in these environments. We had a wonderful walk in
the Fort Christmas Historical Park wetlands area.
During the walk we saw a huge
alligator eating a huge turtle. Several beautiful birds were flying, swimming
and feeding in the wetlands.
Excellent Photographic and bird watching trails
were there.
There were several
environmental societies and departments having their booths. I had the
opportunity to talk to them. Few years back, I did research on Atrazine and
wetlands. People who were in the Department of Environmental Protection told me that Atrazine is still the major chemical that enters the wetlands. Hopefully atrazine don’t affect
the wetlands, since in Florida, sunshine is always there and atrazine degrades
better with sunlight in wetland environment than any other water bodies. Also, I hope for making future environmental
association with these environmental groups and departments.
Audubon society booths were there with live birds
including the beautiful, wonderful and majestic Bald Eagle.
I wish that this type
of events should be conducted in every part of world for the betterment of societies,
communities and environment.
