What do a teacher from Orlando, a fishing guide from Islamorada and a realtor from Naples have in common? They each value the Everglades and have a story to share about their connection to this ecosystem.
The Everglades Foundation is proud to announce the launch of its latest initiative, “Everglades Stories from Across the Watershed,” a captivating series of 20 short videos documenting the diverse and compelling stories of individuals living in different regions across the Everglades watershed. The project aims to showcase the profound ways in which people connect with the Everglades while shedding light on the impact of environmental degradation and the importance of restoration projects on their day-to-day lives.
Through “Everglades Stories,” viewers will embark on a visual journey, exploring the rich tapestry of experiences and perspectives from a variety of Floridians. Each video provides a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals who have been profoundly influenced by the Everglades ecosystem. From a fishing guide to a scientist, from a photographer to a park ranger, the stories represent a broad cross-section of voices that exemplify the interconnectedness between people and the Everglades.
