Welcome to my photoblog on:
Howell Woods Environmental Learning Center
My name is James and I am now a graduate of South Johnston High School
I love the outdoors and will attend Campbell University to major in Biology starting this August. I am hoping to go on to pursue a career in environmental science. High school has absolutely flown by and my work for Howell Woods has given me many fond memories to keep for years to come. I will continue my service to Howell Woods and the rest of the community over the summer and as I become a student at Campbell later this year.

July 2015
For the month of July, I would like to expand upon waterways. We have so many photos and so much information that we could not fit it all in one post!
Below is a video of young river otters playfully wrestling
Enjoy!
Life is rich where land meets water
Many species have breeding grounds around the water because there are plenty of resources to sustain them and their offspring.
"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came." -John F. Kennedy
"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever."
-Jacques Yves Coustea
As an example of some of the benefits of keeping the water healthy are shown below in these photos taken at the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. Here, resources are safe for the wildlife and its inhabitants thrive. We thought you all may enjoy these.
I was especially surprised to see this mother black bear when her three cubs popped up out of the soybean field they were walking through. It was a very exciting feeling being so close to these beautiful animals and their young. I feel lucky to have gotten the chance to photograph these bears.
