Reviving the River of Grass


Kudos to the South Florida Water Management District for the level of openess and public service that has been displayed during the River of Grass Planning Charettes. During open meetings with stakeholders, NGO's and local officials the District has helped put together 9 options to turn the Governor's US Sugar purchase into real Everglades restoration. You can see the Marshall Plan map attached. Click HERE to examine the history of the planning sessions, to see the maps and merits of the 9 different plans, and to find the dates for future meetings.

Our Summer Interns will be attending these meetings all summer long. Near the end of their time with us, we hope they will be able to give their thoughts to the planning process as they address the ROG planners in an open forum.
