The Tipples are excited for their newest adventure– exploring Florida's everglades to learn about conservation and biodiversity.

Luke, Aria, and Kailiana load into a canoe, and paddle out into the wetlands. The everglades receive an average of 60 inches of rain per year!

The Tipple family learns more about Big Cypress National Preserve from their guide Scott at Clyde Butcher Photography.

Luke takes in his surroundings as he paddles. Big Cypress is the country's first national preserve.

Kailana gives her mom and big high five.

This beautiful ecosystem provides a habitat for hundreds of plant and animal species.

The Everglades is the only place in the world where American alligators and American crocodiles coexist in the wild.

Luke feels inspired by the nature around him. The everglades are often underestimated, but the area is highly biologically diverse with a huge wet cypress forest, mangroves, and orchids.

The family wades into the swamp and celebrates another reward nature adventure.
