The University of Florida's Natural Area Teaching Laboratory (NATL) is dedicated to teaching students and the public about ecology and biotic diversity. Our nature trails span 49 acres, with informative kiosks and signage throughout. We offer educational lesson plans that can be used within the natural area, and tours of the area upon request (see our Education page for more info). 

Additionally, one of the primary uses of NATL is for students and faculty to conduct research. See our Rules for Using NATL page to learn more about the guidelines for conducting research within the natural area. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please email natl@ufl.edu or call: (352) 273-3954.
