Who wouldn't love going to the beach for a field trip in college? I know I loved it! However, all honesty, going to Lover's Key State Park was not all about just enjoying the wind in your hair, or the sand between your toes. One thing that I learned at Lover's Key was about the plant mangrove. Let's get one thing straight, I know absolutely nothing when it comes to plants and leaves and that sort of thing. So learning about different kinds of mangroves was interesting. There are three types of mangroves: red, black, and white.The red mangrove are the ones closest to the water, their roots prop above the water. Black mangroves are the ones that live on the higher of ground. I also learned that mangroves excrete salt and actually thrive on saline. Lover's Key was an amazing place to go and explore. It's a beautiful place that everyone should go and visit if they are ever in Fort Myers. It gives you a time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the fresh air around you.
