A huge THANK YOU to the #LynxBookstore for a fabulous event! "A Sense of Place" was an evening of poetry and place-based imagination organized in conjunction with the _Wild Waters_ exhibition of Florida landscape paintings at the Governor’s House Cultural Center and Museum in St. Augustine, sponsored by our Center and the Harn Museum of Art.
Gabriele Belletti and a small group of UF students from “Poetry and Nature” (French program) shared short ecopoetic readings and presented excerpts from SHINE, an interdisciplinary project that brings together environmental humanities and immersive 3D representations of Florida’s springs. The event concluded with a brief, audience-friendly writing prompt followed by informal conversation.
We wanted to share this poem by Delaney Johnson and accompanying video by Jennifer Purington, a project supported by SHINE.
Participating students in the live event: Isabella Castro, Kaleb Ejigbile, Nur Jacic, Selome Medemaku, Briana Mendez, and Siena Zicchinella.

What happens when you give undergraduates the tools to solve Florida's most complex conservation challenges? They take over the Undergraduate Research Symposium.
This week, our WildFL cohort traded their field gear and GIS workstations for the symposium floor. They didn't just present posters—they pitched real-world data and solutions for Florida’s wildlife corridors to a room full of peers and experts.
The standout moment? Seeing students explain how their team worked with the various tools in the course: geospatial data, camera trapping, AI RAGs and LLMs, stakeholder engagement, and county planning to protect landscape connectivity.
This isn't just "student work." It’s professional-grade science communication designed to bridge the gap between data and policy. A huge congratulations to these Undergraduate Research Scholars from the Center for Landscape Conservation Planning (CLCP) for showing us that the future of conservation is in very capable hands.
