One of the classes Dr. Thomas Hallock teaches is a Nature Writing class at the University of Florida St. Petersburg, usually during the spring. Besides reading nature-related books and articles, students write about nature, especially pertaining to St. Petersburg's Salt Creek, which empties into Bayboro Harbor. There are also several "field trips" (and water trips) to learn about Salt Creek, as well as Florida's waterways. Students also learn about the need for a clean environment; part of the field trips are to help clean waterways.
Here, the students are at the turn-around point for their Salt Creek kayaking/rowing trip.
Students are getting ready to turn around to head back to USFSP.
Heading back.
Here, one of the students reaches to pull garbage out of the water on the way back to USFSP.
Tom Hallock (with white cap) is an enthusiastic professor. His class was one of my favorite classes while at USFSP.
These bags of garbage were taken from part of Salt Creek during Dr. Hallock's 2011 Nature Writing class.
