In Collier County, Florida on the western edge of the Everglades, plume hunting, clear-cutting of ancient cypress trees, development of the "world's largest subdivision" and the "world's largest supersonic jetport" near Everglades National Park, inspired a groundswell of grassroots efforts to protect the vanishing wet wilderness.
The sunshine state has a rich and colorful history. For hundreds of years the state has attracted dreamers, opportunists, inventors and fortune-seekers. WGCU's Untold Stories aims to preserve the history of Southwest Florida communities.

Great documentary. It must be seen by everybody living or planning to live in Florida. Had I known these facts I would have considered moving somewhere else for the sake of the protection of this wonder of the world.

I hope all their restoration plans come to fruition.....and in MY lifetime. I am 78 so maybe within 20 years.

It is supposed to finish in 2030 but who knows since this is a kind of experiment. I definitely hope you won’t take much longer.

This is pure bull. Yes they developed a lot of swamp, but there is so much swamp left its more than enough. Dare anyone to hike thru the swamp and see if they survive. Its still huge. more than enough for anyone to get lost, which they still do. And yes the Everglades are a tireless wasteland.

what makes collier expensive today is not the deltonas its the perserves

@alexmoore9580 3 жыл бұрын

the preserves are vital, what makes Collier expensive is that everyone owns a massive suburban home, maybe if the county starts building tall instead of wide there'll be more housing units and lower prices as a result
