Part of the mission of the Friends of Loxahatchee NWR is to Educate. By contributing to the maintenance of the tram and by helping to lead tours of the Refuge, we educate young and old alike. These children learned about different plants, birds, alligators and even ant lions during their tram tour. Getting them interested in nature at a young age will help them become good stewards of our lands as they grow.
