Moirs Environmental Dialogues

Home of the endangered Everglades Snail Kite, Wood Storks, Mottled Duck, White-tailed Deer, Bobcat, Peninsula Cooter and Florida Softshell, the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge has a great diversity of wildlife dwelling in five different habitats. The Ocean River Institute is mounting a national campaign to save the Loxahatchee refuge from being closed by the state and reverted back to a water management district. Max Wagner, student at Northeastern University, Owen Worth, recent grad of U Mass Lowell, and Shesha Manning, student from Maynard High School are working with individuals to develop in their own words with precise descriptions and accurate observations as to why this place is a national treasure and cultural amenity worthy of federal support. Max, Owen and Shesha talk with Rob about the wildlife, the 5 habitats, top 3 issues, and what individuals from far away, from all fifty states, have to say about the Loxahatchee.
