Rob, sorry we didn’t see this response until just now. We did not end up doing that trip in March so that opportunity, or another, similar one, is still open…perhaps in the fall as we are headed out in June to document the most remote locations of the 7 northeastern states. Send me an email anytime!

Thanks for the message, Rebecca. What a great idea, to find the most remote spot in a state or area. Let me know if you end up moving that date, I might want to tag along and get some video, if you’re interested. As it stands, WFSU is shipping me out to Sarasota for a production at the Ringling Museum. “off-trail” and “bushwhacking” sound like “good video” to me!

Rob, we are a local non-profit dedicated to the conservation of remote, roadless wildlands. We are utilizing documentary exploration and experiential outdoor learning as tools to facilitate deeper relations between people and wildlands. Our flagship endeavor, Project Remote, involves calculating the remotest location of each state then going to that ‘Remote Spot’ to generate new baseline knowledge about ecological and physical conditions. We have already traveled to Florida’s remotest mainland location. In order to help connect people to wildlands and experience remoteness locally, we will be leading an off-trail bushwhacking hike into the remotest location of the Florida Big Bend (in Bradwell Bay Wilderness Area), tentatively planned for March 31st.

Thanks, Craig! We definitely want to hear from eco-groups in the area. What do you do? What area do you cover? The Green Guides have a mission that’s close to my heart, which is not only guiding people in nature, but doing so that they leave the smallest possible impact. I hope to address that in our ecotourism posts.

The Wakulla Ecotourism Institute has a program to certify qualified nature guides called “Green Guides.” On October 1, 2011, my musical group Hot Tamale is putting on a special show at Posh Java in Sopchoppy that will honor the green guides with the release of a new song called “Wakulla Green.” The show will be titled “A Sopchoppy Home Companion” in emulation of the famous Garrison Keillor radio program. CDs of the song will be distributed to raise funds for the Green Guides Scholarship fund. More info is available either at Posh Java or at Tallahassee Community College’s Wakulla Center in Crawfordville.
