A live panel discussion set for Wednesday, March 24 features three women whose efforts have been focused on saving the Everglades.
Hosted by the Keys History & Discovery Center, the “Women on a Mission: Saving the Everglades” panel includes Mary Barley, founding director for the Everglades Foundation; Elizabeth Jolin, captain and board member of Florida Bay Forever; and Chloe Vorseth, ForEverglades Fellow for the Everglades Foundation. Jill Miranda Baker, Keys History & Discovery Center executive director, will moderate the discussion.
The panelists have dedicated their life’s work to saving the Everglades, the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. They will discuss their passion for the mission to protect and restore America’s Everglades through science, advocacy and education. They will share what drives them to continue the work started nearly 75 years ago with the publication of Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ best-selling book “The Everglades: River of Grass.”
The lecture is free for members and $5 for non-members. Advance registration is required at www.keysdiscovery.com/lectures or More information about the center or the program is at 305-922-2237 or info@keysdiscovery.com.
