    Whether you are interested in manatees because they are Florida's gentle giants, concerned about the success of conservation efforts or are ready to dive deep into the amazing science and research happening right here in Northeast Florida.... ALL ABOUT MANATEES is for you!

    The Friends are excited to welcome one of the foremost authorities on everything manatee, Dr. Gerry Pinto will be our presenter at First Love Brewing on April 21st from 6-8 pm. As both a JU professor and scientist at the JU Marine Science Research Institute, he has been instrumental in many of the programs that are used today to monitor, record data and ensure these amazing mammals are protected for future generations.

    Another fun, informative evening with Friends - hope to see your there!


After Hours with Friends has been a big success and a great opportunity to meet park personnel, local experts and, of course, like-minded friends. With topics like Birds & Beer; Archaeology of the Timucuans; Pelicans, Plovers, and Pints; Stargazing and S’mores; and Turtles in the Taproom we have a lot of fun and learn about our local ecosystem. 


Spoonbill Pond Tours are offered by Dr. Elise Pearlstine, wildlife biologist and FOTI board member.  These private tours are raffled at our after hours events and scheduled directly with Elise.

Groups may also request private tours, the fee for these tours is based on the number of attendees.
