The springtime is almost here! As the temperatures start to heat up and beachgoers enjoy longer days on our sandy shores, much of Florida’s diverse wildlife also becomes more active. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) shared some annual reminders with us regarding ways to reduce conflicts and help conserve our native species here in the Sunshine State! Migration, breeding, feeding, and nesting are all on the rise this time of year, increasing the likelihood of encounters between wildlife and people.
