This opportunity to visit the Callusa Nature Park was a great experience for our group. We saw many types of the plants and trees that are being preserved for future generations ensuring that our child will get to experience them in the same way. The planetarium’s presentation of manatees was very intriguing and eye opening as to how important they are and much humans are doing to make sure that these gentle giants or “sea cows” do not go extinct. The nature walk was educational learning of how hundreds of years ago the Indians of Florida once used these trees and plants to survive and how we still today use some of those very same things for ourselves. Callusa also has a verity of birds and animals that are kept here. When abused or injuried animals are brought to Callusa it is to keep them safe and help them heal, as they may not be able to survive in the wild.
