______________________________
I was unaware of the scope of your center, and frankly, I was blown away by the entire experience.
In my 33 years of teaching I must say this was at the top of my field trip experiences.
What a magnificent facility! You have created a shining example for the kind of setting that promotes the learning experience for which E.O. Wilson has dedicated his life.
______________________________
Previously available exclusively to school groups, the E. O. Wilson Biophilia Center is now open to the public thanks to an innovative public-private partnership between the Walton County Tourist Development Council (TDC) and the Center's visionary, M.C. Davis.
