The Symposium kicks off Friday, Sept. 27, with three field trips to natural jewels in Brevard County - Sams House at Pine Island Sanctuary, Merritt Island; Dicerandra Scrub Preserve, Titusville; and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville.
Cap off the day with dinner at Dixie Crossroads restaurant, where the Foundation's annual meeting will feature keynote speaker Xavier Cortada. The FIU artist will give a presentation about FLOR500 - a participatory art, nature and history project he created to commemorate Florida’s quincentennial.
