Conservation of native plants and animals is important
Ed shows how local tribes used to make nets by twisting natural fibers from a cabbage palm leaf |
The collection of the fibers and the chore of twisting them into line would be work for indian squaws |
The finished product is strong but absorbent, and the nets would have to be repaired daily |
Waxed myrtle comes in male and female and provides a very sweet scent when the leaf is torn |
Thorny nickerbean pods protect the seeds until ripe and then open to release them at the right time |
Mature nickerbean seeds fall to the ground and many times get carried by the tides |
Binoculars can get you closer to the animals without disturbing them |
This flowering cactus is editable |
The group talks about the many indian burial grounds that have been found in the area |
