We will then work our way down the spring and past Paddling Adventures Canoe Rentals. We will sample again first thing SATURDAY MORNING at 7:30 am and then again Saturday evening between 3:30 and 4:00. We will repeat the morning sample on Sunday. We will be camping at Cody’s RV Park.

PLEASE CONFIRM if you can still make it for these new dates and times by emailing emwalton(at)usf.edu, or RSVP to the Facebook event HERE.

As an additional note, I will try to get a small crew together to conduct the Manatee, Fanning and Peacock Springs samplings the following weekend. If you can make that sampling event, please indicate so in a note below.

Thanks so much!
