Aspace For3 Visits The Skunk Ape Headquarter and Research Center In Ochopee Florida on The Florida Everglades Tamiami Trail.SkunkApe is known to be the cousin of Big Foot aka sasquash. However the skunk Ape is a little smaller at about 6feet tall and 450 lbs. Mostly sighted in The Florida Everglades around Ochopee Florida. The Headquarters was founded by Dave Shealy who at the early age of 10 spotted the Skunkape with his big brother for the first time. Dave Shealy has dedicated his life ever since to creating awareness about this strange smelly man ape or apeman spotted in the river of grass called The Everglades. An Urban legend, Hoax, or reality. The Skunk Ape Headquarters continues to do research and and document sittings. This family owned Roadside Attraction ''SkunkApe'' Headquarters offers a gift shop with really cool skunkape merchandise, an animal exhibit that includes: reptiles, a giant python snake over 25feet long and 350lbs by the name of Goldie. A few talking parrots, about four alligators, several turtles including a snap turtle and as if that is not enough they also offer a primitive camping RV campground or you can do some glamping inside one of the chickee cottages available inside Trail Lakes Camp Grounds.

Northwest River of Grass Prescribed Fire
On December 17, 2014 Everglades National Park in south Florida conducted the 28,000-acre River of Grass Prescribed Fire in Shark Valley.
Watch these beautiful images of a large prescribed fire at Shark Valley in Everglades National Park. Everglades Fire Management uses helicopters and firefighters to ignite this carefully planned fire. See how fire is used to burn away decades of accumulated dead sawgrass during moist conditions to prevent future, and severe, dry season fires which may threaten the habitat of the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow. Once burned, areas quickly become green and less flammable slowing the spread of subsequent fires providing a protective buffer around the sparrow's habitat. The video shows exciting aerial view of skilled manages creating patterns of burned and unburned areas in the watery Everglades. In addition to reducing fire hazard, this prescribed fire is designed to burn seedlings of Melaleuca, reducing the potential of non-native exotic tree to spread.
This video depicts the complexity of this River of Grass burn. Tamiami trail was the northern boundary and the heavily visited Shark Valley visitor use area was the eastern border of the prescribed fire area. From the Shark Valley tower, and the tram road, the video reveals visitor's first hand response to this important management tool, prescribed fire.
Years in the planning and near perfect weather conditions were needed to safely accomplish this prescribed fire. Wind direction, wind speed, and relative humidity were key elements in this burn. Watch smoke and fire interact with Florida's sunny winter skies as thousands of acres are burned in a patchy mosaic.
The burn would not have been possible without the support of Everglades National Park and the excellent staff of Everglades Fire Management. Special thank you to United States Fish and Wildlife Service's Jon Wallace for his insight and Grant Gifford for his fine work as safety officer at Shark Valley. Prescribed Fire Training Center Director Mike Dueitt for technical review of the burn plan. Jordan McKnight Chief, Fire and Aviation Big Cypress National Preserve and his very capable team. The extraordinary helicopter pilot Gary Freeman, HMC Helicopters. Single Engine Airtanker pilot Steve Fletcher of Fletcher Flying Services.
The goals of the project were:
--Reduce hazardous fuels accumulation which threatens the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow habitat.
--Aid in managing invasive exotic species, such as Melaeuca quinquenervia following herbicide treatments.
--Use fire as an ecological process to restore and maintain the wet prairies and sawgrass marshes.
The film was produced by Jennifer Brown, Into Nature Films, , and Rick Anderson, Fire Management Officer, Everglades National Park.

Waterways Episode 269- Big Cypress National Preserve and Keys Canal Clean-up
If trekking through the River of Grass that is the Everglades seems daunting, there is an area connected to the Everglades that is very accessible. Big Cypress National Preserve has two main roads that run right through it. Interstate 75 and US Highway 41, more commonly called the Tamiami Trail, cut right through Big Cypress National Preserve providing travelers immediate access to one of the most amazing landscapes in south Florida. AND When canals lack circulating water, the organic materials get trapped and decay, causing nutrient enrichment and low dissolved oxygen in the water column. . One big concern of elevated nutrient loads and lack of dissolved oxygen in canals is the effect on the surrounding near shore waters, seagrass beds and the hard bottom habitat. In 2013 Monroe County approved 5 millions dollars for canal restoration demonstration projects, which will provide county officials and resource managers with a clear picture of the feasibility, effectiveness and cost for future restoration planning. Directed by Erik Hutchins. Presented by Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Everglades National Park and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
