Overview

This book explores in detail the last ten years at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. There is a story about the spread of the Burmese python throughout south Florida. Another examines guiding development east of Highway 941 and in Lee County when the State of Florida took over wetlands destruction permitting. An additional tale reveals how mangrove forest research in the estuaries played heavily into recommendations for hurricane protection. And, a chapter or two about new campus facilities. These stories and others celebrate 60 years of education featuring natural resource and wildlife protection in search of a better southwest Florida.
