One Woman's Solo Paddle on the St. Johns River

Join us as Michelle Thatcher, Executive Director of the Association of Florida Conservation Districts, takes us on her solo journey, down the historic St. John's River. This is her adventure of getting up close and personal with the river once called the "Nile of the Americas" via alligators, wild hogs, hunters, other river "characters", vine-tangled swamps and wide, shallow marshes. With only a map and compass and her 14 foot kayak, Thatcher may be the first to paddle the entire St. Johns River.

A brief discussion of current environmental issues will precede Thatcher's presentation.
