Uproar over state park initiative could have been a misunderstanding

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of traveling up to Gainesville to visit a close friend of mine and past Editor-in-Chief, Emma Poole. We went on a pretty ambitious five mile expedition in search of the illustrious wild bison that live in the Paynes Prairie State Park, the last wild herd in the state of Florida. We were observed by a deer hiding in the shade under some wild oak trees, and were constantly bombarded by swarms of flies, grasshoppers and mysterious buzzing sounds. Our shoes got soaked in mud, and sweat glistened on our faces. Although we did not get the opportunity to see any wild bison or horses, I am still so thankful for being able to explore a Florida State Park.
