Remembering Bob Graham

In 2014, I attended a seminar on advocacy. Bob Graham was one of the speakers. After the workshop, he pulled me aside and said, " It all starts with education." Imagine Our Florida was born.

Bob Graham will always be known best as Florida's beloved Governor and Senator. Did you know he inspired Aymee, Dan, and me to pursue our vision and form Imagine Our Florida, a science-based educational organization that teaches Floridians to connect, respect, and coexist with Florida's wildlife and within our shared ecosystems?

For the past 8 years, we have dedicated our time and knowledge to educate and empower individuals of all ages across Florida. Together, with your support, we can ensure that Imagine Our Florida continues to honor Bob Graham's legacy and make a significant difference for the generations to come.

Onward,
Nancy

Florida Panther known Occurrence from FWC

"Occurrence data (orange circles) show that panthers range from the extreme southern portions of the peninsula into Central Florida up to Orlando and occasionally further north. Although there are a few female panthers north of Lake Okeechobee, most females are found south of the lake and that is where most reproduction occurs."

Circle B Bar Reserve

Circle B Bar Reserve is located in Lakeland and was once a cattle ranch. Today, this 1,267-acre reserve is overseen by the Polk County Environmental Lands Program. Explore wetlands, a marsh, an oak hammock, a sandhill scrub, and Lake Hancock where you will discover the wildlife and wildflowers that now thrive there.

Trails ranging from .2 miles to 1.5 miles provide the opportunity for easy to moderate hikes that meander through the different ecosystems. Note the abundant wildlife and wildflowers that live in each ecosystem. Bring your camera and leave your pets at home while you immerse yourself in the wonder of nature. Circle B Bar Reserve has been added to the Great Florida Birding Trail. Along with Florida'syear-round residents, keep an eye out for migratory birds in the winter.

Bring a meal to enjoy in one of the 5 covered picnic areas and stay for a spectacular Florida sunset over Lake Hancock.
