I LOVE how passionate this dude is about moss! I thought I was going to listen as I go to sleep,but no! I'm SO invested in moss now!!!
Very informative. Thank you so much for sharing!
This was actually rly wellmade and interesting. it wasnt boring at all and the slides itself were rly easy to comprehend. only the video at the start was rly laggy and the microphone was a little bad. rly nice video tho.
Recently became obsessed with moss so I’m quite happy to have found such a long, educational video on it!
Thinking of getting my bachelors in horticulture. Also a certified seed technologist.
Many thank yous for this. Very enjoyable watching. A week ago I went up to Mt. Laguna in CA and saw some beautiful lime green lichen growing on trees. Such wonderful, unique, fascinating living structures!
I am so thankful for this video. I learned so much. You did great explaining everything. And your way of speaking slow and clear pronouncing very well. Thank you thank you
I worked for a different division of IFAS but I can say the entire organization is amazing. I love how well they did with extensions. Their relationships really help out our local farmers. Amazing video!

Excellent presentation! In our NextDoor chatroom, Coyote sightings is Topic # 1. It's good to have this accurate information, instead of myths such as : "It's the fault of the Developers who chased them out of their land!" or "They were here before us."
This is great!
That was excellent! Whoever presented it was wonderful. Many educational presentations are boring & soporific but this presenter’s energy & personality kept my attention & interest.
Thank you for the information!
Just found this channel. As a Floridian these are so amazing. Thank y’all 💙💙💙
