“Kayaking changed my life!”

Madison Tipton: Kayak Guide

“As a lover of the outdoors and physical activity, becoming a part of my family’s business was a “no brainer”. I explore nature every day! As a Guide I regularly get to share nature and all of its wonders with our guests, so when the opportunity to learn more about this fascinating state became available, it was also a “no brainer”!

By completing all three core modules of the Florida Master Naturalist Program (FMNP) through UF/IFAS, I explored and learned about the state of Florida from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic Coast, from the smallest coastal invertebrates to the largest uplands mammals, and everything in between! Along the way I met some amazing people who have proven to be a support group of knowledge with a passion for educating. This program enhanced my knowledge of the outdoors, and it has opened an exciting new perspective of this beautiful creation for me. I look forward to sharing it with others. So, now that I am a certified Master Naturalist… Go ahead, ask me anything!!” ??

“I was also nominated and served at Vice President and President for the NorthEast Florida Master Naturalist Chapter. It was an honor for me to have the opportunity to meet the man who started it all, Dr. Mary Main!”
