A visit from Eliza Russell, Director
of Education Programs for National Wildlife Federation
Eliza came in for a "Tour
of Florida" and
a workshop in Broward County designed to "teach the teachers" about
the wildlife education programs available through NWF.
Her tour brought her to the Scrub-Jay Trail for
a visit and planning session. She enjoyed the respite from a busy
itinerary that took her from south Florida to the Panhandle and
back again. For information about NWF education programs, visit
A visit from Alex Shore with Broward
County's
Environmental Protection and
Growth Management Department
Alex came up to see the Trail. Broward is extremely active in the National
Wildlife Federation Habitat Stewards program, Community Wildlife Habitat,
and wildlife education programs in the school system. It was great
to hear of the work they are doing in Broward County.

the environment.
Craig Tufts Pollinator Garden Dedication
This
garden is the result of a lot of hard work by the Scrub-Jay Trailblazers
and volunteers.
On Saturday, September 18, a ribbon cutting was
held to officially open the garden. The garden is dedicated to Craig
Tufts, Chief Naturalist for the National Wildlife Federation who
passed away in June 2009.
Jean
Tufts, Craig's wife, participated in the ceremony and
was very impressed by the volunteer effort that takes place here
at the Trail.
Joining Jean on her visit was Kelly
Senser, Senior Associate Editor with NWF, who has been
very supportive on the Scrub-Jay Trail. More photos to come.
