Nothing is better than strolling through mountain meadows, enjoying the flowers, watching wildlife, and quaffing glacial runoff, though having his Black Lab sprawl across him while snoozing is a close second.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1063610 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-team\" data-id=\"1063610\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-team.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"profile-card elementor-animation- text-center ekit-team-style-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_1063610_733\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-header ekit-team-img ekit-img-overlay ekit-team-img-block\"  data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\"ekit_team_modal_#1063610_733\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"832\" src=\"https:\/\/invasivesfree.org\/ambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/Enloe.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-703\" alt=\"Stephen Enloe\" srcset=\"https:\/\/invasivesfree.org\/ambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/Enloe.jpg 628w, https:\/\/invasivesfree.org\/ambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/Enloe-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-header END -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"profile-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"profile-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a aria-label=\"profile\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-mfp-src=\"#ekit_team_modal_1063610_733\" class=\"ekit-team-popup\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tStephen Enloe\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-designation\">Professor &amp; Extension Specialist, University of Florida<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"profile-content\">\"Core Concepts About Invasive Species Everyone Needs To Know\"  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .profile-body END -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"zoom-anim-dialog mfp-hide elementskit-team-popup team-popup-id-1063610\" id=\"ekit_team_modal_1063610_733\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"dialog\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered\" role=\"document\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"ekit-team-modal-close\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-times\" viewBox=\"0 0 352 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M242.72 256l100.07-100.07c12.28-12.28 12.28-32.19 0-44.48l-22.24-22.24c-12.28-12.28-32.19-12.28-44.48 0L176 189.28 75.93 89.21c-12.28-12.28-32.19-12.28-44.48 0L9.21 111.45c-12.28 12.28-12.28 32.19 0 44.48L109.28 256 9.21 356.07c-12.28 12.28-12.28 32.19 0 44.48l22.24 22.24c12.28 12.28 32.2 12.28 44.48 0L176 322.72l100.07 100.07c12.28 12.28 32.2 12.28 44.48 0l22.24-22.24c12.28-12.28 12.28-32.19 0-44.48L242.72 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"modal-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"832\" src=\"https:\/\/invasivesfree.org\/ambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/Enloe.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-703\" alt=\"Stephen Enloe\" srcset=\"https:\/\/invasivesfree.org\/ambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/Enloe.jpg 628w, https:\/\/invasivesfree.org\/ambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/Enloe-226x300.jpg 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-info has-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"ekit-team-modal-title\">Stephen Enloe<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ekit-team-modal-position\">Professor &amp; Extension Specialist, University of Florida<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-team-modal-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDr. Enloe is a professor and extension specialist at the IFAS Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants at the University of Florida.

Her leadership ensures that Alabama\u2019s parks not only preserve their ecological integrity but also provide meaningful recreational and educational opportunities for visitors of all ages.<br><br>\nBeyond her professional contributions, Tasha is an avid birdwatcher and a passionate gardener, dedicating her free time to vegetable gardening and cultivating native habitats.
