Field Trip: Estero Island Historic Cottage & Canoeing Vester

3/11
                                  Field Trip #2: Estero Island Cottage & Canoeing Vester

The ride to get to the field trip was unbearable. The traffic from spring break was terrible. However, the actual field trip made up for it in the end.

No one in our group knew that the Estero Island Cottage even existed, so we all found it very interesting. The host was very sweet, and we enjoyed the personal stories that she shared about living on the beach. Along with her personal stories the host also gave us factual information about some of the birds, insects, and mangroves that could be found around the Ft. Myers Beach area.

The canoeing vester was the best part of the field trip. Everyone in our group enjoyed being one with nature and observing all the wild life around us. Some of us in the group had never been canoeing and found our first time experience very fun! Our group was able to observe pelicans and different types of mangroves. The only downfall of the canoeing trip was that we weren't able to spend a lot of time on the water exploring because of the heavy traffic that held us up on the way there.


 
 
 
 
 
 
Overall, the field trip was very fun but a little time pressed due to all the traffic from the spring break season.
