Summary

This time of year has me thinking of friendships both past and present, which is why I wanted to revisit this old episode. What you are about to hear is my first experience botanizing a longleaf pine savanna with the wonderful Sara Johnson and our late friend and botanical mentor, Dr. Mark Whitten. Those of you who have been listening to the podcast since the early days may remember parts of this hike from episode 91. So, sit back and enjoy a day full of botanical adventure and learning!

0:37.5	Indefenseauplants.com. What's up? This is your house, Matt. Welcome to the show. How's everyone doing this week? It's the holiday season, and of course I'm thinking a lot about friendships these days. And naturally, my mind goes to some of my friends that are no longer with us, like Dr. Mark Witten. I can't tell you how much I missed Mark. It's a loss that many of us

1:35.0	podcast. So let's just jump right into it without further ado. Here is our hike with the late
1:40.3	Dr. Mark Whitten. I hope you enjoy.
1:59.4	I'm in a new spot and I wanted to share some of it with you.
2:08.6	So I'm walking through a Zerrick hammock habitat outside of Gainesville, Florida, on a 10,000 acre property owned by University of Florida.
