ARCHBOLD AND COVID-19
As Florida enters phased reopening, we at Archbold are doing the same. For the well-being of our staff, visitors, and the community at large, Archbold Biological Station and Buck Island Ranch are currently closed to the general public until further notice. We too are slowly returning to more 'normal' conditions, and will be reopening as soon as we can ensure everyone's safety. The Queen of Red Hill has renewed her declaration to "stay in your burrow," just a bit longer. We wish you good health.
SUMMER CAMP Goes Virtual
We at Archbold are happy to announce that registration is now live for Virtual Ecology Summer Camp! Thanks to everyone who participated in our survey to help build the experience - Director of Education Dustin Angell has put together four weekly sessions packed with fun and educational children's activities designed to be done in our own backyards, using common household objects. Attendance is limited, so register here today!
