First Baptist Academy students prepare to take of on a bicycle ride through Wildlife Drive.
On Jan. 4, students from the First Baptist Academy in Naples journeyed to Sanibel to spend the day exploring the J.N “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. During the winter term, the school allocates a week’s worth of time to promote a particular interest of the students. The subject for these 13 high schoolers was environmental sciences.
First, the students hopped into kayaks to explore Tarpon Bay’s Commodore Creek Trail with naturalist Brie Coffman. A low tide made for superb birding. White pelicans could be seen by the dozens flying overhead or swimming from nearby sandbars. Wading birds peppered the edges of the mangrove roots stalking for prey.
