The Everglades, which is probably the world’s
most diverse ecosystem, has a variety of ecosystems that coexist with
each other and depend on each other to survive. |
The
Ecology Club seeks to educate students about the importance of the environment
for our survival, and teach preventative and preservative methods. The
Ecology Club provides students with an opportunity to work together,
instilling togetherness. “If we treat our environment with respect
and care, it will in turn provide us with the care that we need,”
is key in our survival. Our future depends on how we are able to preserve
our environment so that the next generations can have something to look
forward to. |
The Ecology Club is also involved in a few community
service events. The students give back to the community by participating
in Earth Day events. The Ecology Club has also given back
to the Florida Memorial University family.
The student have gone around the campus and labeled a number of the
trees planted throughout the campus. The students have also orchestrated
a butterfly garden that is located behind the pool erecting a stone
walkway with benches to sit on. |
