Staying Informed
LAtL presentations are structured around frequently
asked questions, such as:
- Why is my lake green?
- Do plants attract snakes?
- Is algae bad for the environment?
- What kind of bird is this?
- Are alligators dangerous?
 |
| Because lakes! |
In addition to presentations, several utilities and
governmental agencies set up booths to share additional information on water
conservation, invasive plants, wildlife, and Florida-Friendly Landscaping™.
