This Land Is Your Land

Earth Learning Eco Classes

Ring. Ring.

Hello?

Hey, it’s Nature.

Oh. Hi.

Wanna hang out this weekend?

Nah, thinking about catching a movie.

Too bad. A bunch of people from Earth Learning’s Becoming a Native to South Florida class are coming to visit the best local bioregion, which you know as the Greater Everglades. It’s going to be lots of fun — canoeing, hiking, kayaking — as well as a good way to learn about yours truly.

Like all your mosquitoes?

Ouch. Did camping in the Keys mean nothing to you?

No, that was fun. Your luscious mangroves. Your elegant ibises. The way a boat feels against your soft bay waves.

The humidity’s rising. Don’t you just love it when nature calls?

Earth Learning (305-237-2600 or earth-learning.org). Classes start January 27.
