The Everglades: The River of Change

About the Event

The River of Grass was once considered a wasteland, but today, the true value of the Everglades is apparent. Take a look at the history of the Everglades over the last 150 years to see how early efforts to drain this subtropical wetland have led to one of the largest restoration efforts on Earth.

Presented by John Nelson, President, Audubon of Martin County
