I really enjoyed visiting Six Mile Cypress last Wednesday morning. I felt as though it was a perfect way to give me some much needed reflection and outside time. It was really cool being able to walk on the boardwalk and be able to identify different types of plants, animals, and types of wildlife that I've learned about throughout my time at FGCU. It was an incredible way to spend a couple of hours and an extremely appropriate last field trip.
This was my first time at Six Mile Cypress and when I got back to FGCU that evening I met up with some water polo players visiting from Vermont. I asked them about their stay and what activities they had done that day. They mentioned that they went to Six Mile Slough at around 3pm that afternoon and I couldn't believe it! Not only did this group of individuals want to take the time to explore the outdoors and Fort Myers, but just a few hours earlier I had my first experience at this park as well. I was able to share with them some information that they probably wouldn't have gotten elsewhere and later recognized the wide impact that this place has on Southwest Florida. It was by far one of my favorite field trips and I can't wait to go back!
