FWC is looking for volunteers to take over the care and maintenance of their official geocaches! Stay involved in one of your favorite outdoor activities and find opportunities to help out FWC and learn about what goes into fish and wildlife management. Contact me or visit http://myfwc.com/get-involved/volunteer/
This geocache was part of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Wildlife Management Area System in 2017. There are 49 geocaches hidden on WMAs across Florida, from the panhandle to the Keys. See if you can find them all!

Habitats provide the food, water, shelter and space animals need to thrive and reproduce. At Everglades WMA, natural communities such as sawgrass marsh, wet prairies/sloughs and tree islands provide habitat for fish and wildlife found here.Though the Everglades appear flat, there are subtle differences in elevation. These differences, in combination with variations in underlying rock and natural fire regimes, create a diversity of natural communities within the Everglades ecosystem. The geocache is located at the I-75 rest area overlook area..
