Live Wildly Adventurist @GeorgeMcKenzieJr is bringing his journey to the big screen.
From Brooklyn’s concrete jungle to the wild heart of Florida, George McKenzie Jr. has traded the weight of a gun for the power of a camera. This Black wildlife photographer captures everything from city pigeons to elusive panthers—while inspiring kids of color to see themselves in conservation.
Experience George’s journey, along with two other short documentaries from @floridawildlifecorridor and @wildpath, for an evening of storytelling that celebrates Florida’s wild spaces and the people protecting them.

Paddling 40 miles through the Okefenokee, we spotted some funky, alien-like tubes shooting up from the peaty soil. Turns out, these plants are pros at catching attention—and bugs!
Meet the Hooded Pitcher Plant—a carnivorous wonder of the Southeast! Its hooded, tube-shaped leaves lure in unsuspecting insects (and occasionally frogs or small snakes!) with sweet nectar—then trap and digest them with no way out.

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING 🛑 IT’S FLORIDA FALL, Y’ALL!
(aka, the season where you sweat slightly less outside.)
SING OUT LOUD IS HERE 🎶 And every ticket sends $10 to local land conservation. That means you can scream-sing to Hozier AND protect Florida’s wild places at the same time.
PLUS—@georgemckenziejr’s new documentary is being featured at the iconic Tampa Theatre (if you haven’t been… wow! What a venue!).
And that’s just the start. September is packed with wild Florida events, so grab a friend, get outside, and make it count! 🌿
Link in bio for the lineup. Who’s coming with you?
From St. George to Siesta Key, Florida beaches never disappoint. ☀️ 🌊 ⛱️
National Beach Day is August 30—save the date for a little time by the water.
Would you rather drift on a tube or paddle the full stretch of Ichetucknee?
Here’s why it’s a must on your adventure list:
🚣 Paddle 3+ miles from the north entrance and let the gentle current carry you past turtles, otters, and maybe even a manatee.
🛟 Tube the Ichetucknee for a quick, refreshing float (trams and rentals make it easy).
🐠 Swim or snorkel at the headspring for a family-friendly dip — or more experienced swimmers can try the fast-rising Blue Hole.
🌲 Hit the trails: from the short Blue Hole hike to the sandhills of Pine Ridge, each path offers its own slice of wild Florida.
💡 Insider tip: Arrive early (especially in summer!) and always leave no trace so this paradise stays wild for years to come.
Send this to someone you want to Geocache with 🧭🤝

The secret to a great paddling trip? A solid plan - and now is the perfect time to get the ball rolling.
Last fall, Live Wildly took on the epic Okefenokee Swamp—a natural wonder so stunning it’s up for UNESCO World Heritage status. 🚣♀️🌿
With @okefenokeeadventures’ guide Dan Jones leading the way, Sara, George, Lauren, and Aaron paddled 40 unforgettable miles across this breathtaking swamp. From the Northeast corner to the Southwest, this trip was nothing short of wild.

Smokey Bear’s birthday. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’ birthday. The birthday of the person who writes these very captions. August is the month of LEGENDS. 🐻📚🎈
Even if it’s not your birthday, you can still celebrate the gift of life by heading outdoors and soaking up all the legendary Florida events this month.
Did you know that Geocaching has been around for 25 years??? If you’ve never tried it…now might be a great time to start! (as long as you don’t forget your bug spray, sunscreen, rain jacket, and your sense of humor—because Florida’s weather around now is predictably unpredictable.)
Link in bio to find out more information on our top Florida nature events in August! 😎
