Join Conservancy biologist Ian Bartoszek to better understand the effects of the invasive Burmese python in the Everglades ecosystem. Since its inception in 2013, the Conservancy's python program has been able to remove adult pythons weighing in at over a combined 26 thousand pounds, with Florida's largest specimen measuring up at an astounding 215 pounds and nearly 18 feet. Hear about research results from a ten-year tracking study on pythons and learn how you can assist the Conservancy’s ongoing efforts to document and remove invasive species in Collier County.
