3rd Annual Ecofest

One of the featured organizations participating in EcoFest is Environmental Education Awareness Research Support and Services (EEARSS), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by renowned wildlife educator and researcher Frank "Alligator" Robb. With more than 30 years of experience working with wildlife, Mr. Robb has dedicated his career to environmental education, scientific research, and public outreach programs designed to inspire future generations of conservationists.

EEARSS works closely with schools, government agencies, environmental organizations, and communities to provide educational opportunities focused on Florida's unique ecosystems and wildlife. The organization supports research on alligator toxicology and endocrinology, sea turtle nesting populations, gopher tortoises, ecosystem health, controlled burns, and environmental monitoring. EEARSS also maintains research partnerships with institutions, including the University of Louisville's Wise Laboratory and other universities across the country.

Visitors attending the Third Annual EcoFest will have the opportunity to learn more about local wildlife, conservation efforts, environmental research, and the importance of preserving natural habitats for future generations. Educational exhibits, interactive activities, and community resources make this event enjoyable for attendees of all ages.
