Julie:
My first thought was the Agricultural Extension service.
The University of Central Florida, the University of Florida at Gainsville and Stetson University are all within a doable commute. Check out the Department of Natural Resourses, the Florida Dept of Environmental Services, The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission , the USFish and Wildlife Commission and the Florida Department of Recreation and Parks but again, I think the Florida Environmental and Extension Service would be the best bet. There are Community Colleges in each County in Florida as well. Google each of these and you'll see the possibilities.
