Anders will focus on the Everglades, Florida’s largest wilderness, for this presentation. Since our region is downstream, we are affected by the changes in that environment. This presentation will offer an overview of this stunning and vulnerable place. Registration is free; however, space is limited for this event, so if you would like to sign up, or for more information, please call (239) 454-2054.
“The Everglades is a very beautiful environment that houses so many creatures and plants that are vital in the function of our daily lives,” said Teri Kollath, Manager of Academy and Volunteer Services. “It is a pleasure to have Ms. Anders back to the campus to offer insight into what we could lose if we don’t take care of this fragile environment.”
