With the Wild Things is hosted by wildlife biologist Dr. Jerry Jackson. The program is a one-minute look where Jackson takes you through your backyard, through Southwest Florida’s beaches, swamps and preserves to learn about “the wild things”.

The interstitials began over twenty years ago with funding by the Environmental Education Grant Program of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and was produced at the Whitaker Center of the College for Arts and Sciences at Florida Gulf Coast University. Today it is produced at WGCU Public Media.
