The third meeting of Dr. Bob Knight’s series “Springs Academy Tuesdays” was held today, June 7, 2016 at the North Florida Springs Environmental Center in High Springs.
Previous sessions dealt with a springs overview and springs hydrogeology, and this one was on springs chemistry in general as well as nutrients and trace contaminants.
Many different substances may be found in the springs, but the major undesirable is nitrate-nitrogen from fertilizer.
The popular series meets the first Tuesday of the month from noon until 1 o’clock at the High Springs Environmental Center at 99 NW First Street, and will run through September, 2016. Everyone is welcome and no reservations are necessary.
