A Day on the River

“Partly cloudy skies and clear water” – it’s a perfect day on Central Florida’s Rainbow River. Join Florida naturalists Tim Walsh and Steve DeCresie as they set out on a misty morning to explore the underwater world of the Rainbow River. These energetic and passionate naturalists share their understanding of the river—in the river —offering an intimate view of aquatic wildlife in their element. “You get a different view of wildlife underwater” says Tim, and this is aptly demonstrated as he mingles underwater with a surprisingly graceful snapping turtle. Winner of the 2010 International Wildlife Film Festival Best Internet and Best Children’s Program, A Day on the River offers a springboard for classroom discussion on many environmental and science topics such as wildlife ecology, resource conservation, and the nature of science.
