The fifth Annual Wings and Wildflowers Festival will be held Oct. 14-16, 2016 at Venetian Gardens in Leesburg, Florida.

The festival will offer more than 100 activities and programs over the course of three days and features more than 25 birding, wildflower and nature experts.

Birds flock to Lake County, which is home to thousands of acres of preserves and passive parklands, including the Lake Apopka Restoration Area, Ferndale Preserve, Emeralda Marsh, the Dora Canal and the Hilochee Wildlife Management Area.

Educational Field Trip for First Academy of Leesburg

Yesterday, The exchange students from First Academy in Leesburg came out on a field trip to see the local wildlife of Florida. We saw a Bald Eagle, baby and adult alligators, 4 varieties of heron, both common & Snowy egrets (the ones with the golden slippers, like Usain Bolt) and a variety of other birds. Through our translator Paul, we were able to pass on many interesting facts about the wildlife and the local area. Everyone had a great time, especially when they all took a turn at driving the boat!
