A nuclear power plant may seem a strange place to find crocodiles, but that’s
exactly where Biologist Joe Wasilewski finds them. Each summer, Florida’s
own “crocodile hunter” spends several months catching, tagging and
releasing crocodiles that live in the cooling canals surrounding the Turkey Point
Nuclear Power Plant in Homestead. Hunter Reno joins him on a nightly trek to
monitor the plant’s thriving croc population.
When Haiti makes headlines in American newspapers, it’s rarely with good
news. But Journalist and Floridian Clayton
Willis has come to view our impoverished island neighbor in an entirely different
light. Over the course of many trips to Haiti, this journalist-turned-collector
has amassed a stunning collection of Haiti’s most vivid and exuberant art
work. New Florida visits him in his South
Florida home to peruse this unique – and uniquely valuable – collection.
When we talk about products “Made in Florida,” we’re usually
talking about quarts of orange juice, bushels of grapefruit … maybe even
the occasional key lime pie. But over the last several years, Florida
wineries have been working to add another product to that list of traditional
Florida exports: citrus wines. New Florida tastes the fruits of their
labor.
Everyone enjoys the thrill of an amusement park ride, but not many people know

Florida goes behind the scenes
at Sally
Corporation, a Jacksonville-based company that designs
and produces exhibits like Paramount Park’s Scooby-Doo’s
Haunted Mansion and Universal Studio’s E.T. Adventure.
It’s better than a bicycle. Way better than a new pair of sneakers. In
fact, a free flight lesson in a small airplane could make the coolest gift a
child ever received. That’s why we think it’s so great that the Experimental
Aircraft Association’s Young
Eagles program allows children between the ages of 8 and 17 to hop a flight
with a volunteer pilot.New Florida takes a trip to North
County Airport in Palm Beach County to watch as a few lucky
Florida kids take the trip of a lifetime.
