Ichetucknee Springs State Park - water lettuce lab The LIFE – Ichetucknee Springs State Park Program is a partnership between DEP’s Ichetucknee Springs State Park, and the Columbia County School District. The Program focuses on approximately 200 seventh grade students at Fort White Middle School. This program has a special focus on Karst topography and water quality. The Program will also be one of the first to make use of the “Water’s Journey Springs Curriculum” developed by the North East Florida Educational Consortium.
