Bellamy

​“Hi, my name is Bellamy Beaver! I am the 8 foot tall mascot for The Ichetucknee Partnership, TIP for short.  I was chosen as TIP's mascot because "Ichetucknee" is an Indian word meaning "beaver pond." I was named after the historic Bellamy Road, the first federal highway built in Florida, near Ichetucknee springs. I will be visiting schools, fairs and other special events to help explain to boys and girls, moms and dads, the importance of our springs and how we can help protect them. I hope to meet you soon!” 
​
Remember, when brushing your teeth Bellamy says, "Turn off the Tap!"
