Bike through the hardwood hammocks, pinelands, cypress swamps and prairies of the Bear Island Unit in Big Cypress National Preserve.

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is an Important Bird Area, part of the Atlantic Flyway for bird migration, is one of the gateway sites for the Great Florida Birding Trail, and is a Ramsar designated Wetland of International Importance. For the Beginner Swamp Walk we will visit a part of the Sanctuary few have seen before. We will travel by vehicle to a remote part of the Sanctuary and walk through our wet prairie into the cypress forest. We will be walking up to 1 mile in two hours on uneven terrain. Participants must be able to climb up a ladder onto the vehicle. Experience the sights and sounds of the awakening swamp with our naturalists guiding you to learn about our watershed, the importance of the habitats we encounter, and the work we are doing to preserve and protect the Sanctuary. We will be on the lookout for birds and other wildlife as well.Donna Fiala Eagle Lakes Community Park

We will spend time walking along an elevated berm around a portion of Harns Marsh Preserve, which is a part of the Lehigh Acres Municipal Services Improvement District (Lee). Snail Kites and Limpkin are the big draw here, but other fresh water birds often secretive and difficult to see can also be present here, like American and Least Bittern, Purple Gallinule, Gray-headed Swamphen, and King Rail. After Harns Marsh, an optional side trip in the same general area will be offered for Florida Scrub-Jay.NEW! Marco Island

Birds Eye View (BEV) is a UK charitable organisation established in 2002 to celebrate and support women's work in film, most notably by way of an annual film festival in London that places women at the heart of the creative vision.[1] The last festival was held in 2014 and since 2015 they have operated a year-round charitable mission to bring ever-greater audiences to films by women, funded by the British Film Institute, under their 'Reclaim The Frame' banner.[1]
Founded as a short film event in 2002, Birds Eye View registered as a charity in 2004, launched the UK's first major women's film festival in 2005, and now operates year-round activity through its BEV Labs, First Weekenders Club, touring programme and online community, in addition to an annual festival in London. Prominent filmmakers and artists to have worked with Birds Eye View include Kim Longinotto, Lucy Walker, Wanuri Kahiu, Mary Harron, Bella Freud, Drew Barrymore, Susanne Bier, Peace Anyiam-Fiberesima, Tracey Emin, Xiao Jiang, Andrea Arnold, Gillian Wearing, Beeban Kidron and Marilyn Gaunt.
For each annual festival, Birds Eye View commissions and produces Sound & Silents, a live-music event whereby leading female musicians perform live, specially-written sets to classic silent films. Musicians to have participated in Sound & Silents include Imogen Heap, Natalie Clein, Bishi, Mira Calix, Patti Plinko, Gwyneth Herbert, The Elysian Quartet, Zoe Rahman, Broken Hearts DJs and JUICE.
Highlights of the Birds Eye View Film Festival programme typically tour the UK throughout the year, playing at regional cinemas such as the Manchester Cornerhouse and Glasgow Film Theatre, as well as music and arts festivals including Big Chill and Latitude. The most common touring programmes include screenings of silent films with new live scores by female musicians, which BEV regularly commissions as part of its Sound & Silents programme. The Festival also takes special events to the Edinburgh and Cannes international film festivals.
