Our trip to the Matanzas
Pass Preserve started off rocky. With the bus driver not turning the air
conditioning on and the loads of traffic on the way to the beach kind of put a
damper on the trip right from the start. But, stepping off that bus and see
that old cottage I knew I was in an interesting history lesson to say the
least. I really enjoyed what Mrs. Hughes had to say. She was so cute but
extremely insight full and passionate about the island that she has been living
on for so many years. I learned a lot like that Matanza actually means
massacre. I thought that was kind of weird at first. I also learned that the
first bridge to get onto the island was built almost 100 years ago. It was
redone a bunch of time but the first one was built in 1921.
So before this class I couldn't tell you what the 20/20 conservation was. My first thoughts that it was just some land conservation in SWFL that helped a little. But it is way more then just some conservation agency. The 20/20 conservation has been around since 1996 that gains access to certain areas that need to be protected. They are used to protect the environment from the plants and animals to the surrounding water and many various habitats that are in the areas. I really like what the 20/20 conservation is doing and I think that we need more agencies like this all of the world to help conserver and keep our planet growing and beautiful. Even though they are using our taxs dollars its for a good cause not like building a pointless new road. It's conserving the beautiful land around us and keeping it safe. So i don't mind.
