   EDITOR REVIEW:

BOCA RATON.   A mission to spread awareness of the natural world and of Florida's environmental concerns defines this center. Named for a local tree, the facility occupies 20 acres along the coast and preserves the landscape for visitors and native wildlife. An elevated boardwalk and a viewing tower provide vistas of the terrain, and the museum boasts educational displays and live creatures. Outdoor saltwater tanks house ocean-dwelling animals and allow folks to examine them close-up. The center is best known for its summer turtle walks, which (by reservation) permit visitors to view turtles during their procreation season.
