Scientists have tried lots of ways to place themselves among treetop habitats. Myakka River State Park has a canopy walkway that let us walk among the palm fronds and treetops. We checked out all the strange air ferns and orchids that thrive here in the damp, dewy south. Quite a different view. The wildlife was mostly in hiding especially when we crossed paths with a bus load of preteens. Wow, they sure can be giggly and noisy! It was still fun.
