Big Cypress Swamp: The Western Everglades

[@edbrown8353]

Grew up fishing all over the Glades in 50s 60s and 70s. It IS a spiritual place. I truly love the Glades and the memories I have in my heart and soul of this wonderful place.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Never seen a big Cyprus in person. only the dwarf ones.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

This is the place I want to see. YES! Not the sea of grass.

The big nbes were timbered many years ago. Those dwarfs found in the Glades and Big Cypress can be 500 years old +. @@BrianCarnevaleB26

Born in Miami 1950, grew up in the Glades, thank you for saving the Alligator, Rosetta Spoon Bills, Flamingos. For us, the old Floridians again, thank you for Saving our Everglades.

[@matthewstewart7712]

Glad to hear Peter Thomas’s voice he is my favorite narrator, listen to him all the time on forensic files

[@cruisepaige]

I came here to mention him!

Shark River Valley, must be restored. From Flamingo up to Hell Bay. I miss my home, thank you Dad. Miss you Dad, thank for your teaching ❤ us how important this river of Grass is. ♥️👍♥️

[@annehopkins3393]

Fantastic program.

[@Dee-so5fq]

The Everglades is my backyard I love this. Thank you for sharing! Trying not to focus on the destruction mankind has done but the conservation we can still do

[@kellyclark7517]

Amen! I wanna go!!!

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

A stunning program of flora and fauna I have never seen with my own eyes despite traveling over a fair portion of Tampa Bay and the surrounding area.

[@cathyheston3029]

Beautifully done documentary ❤

[@tomharter2957]

Spent every minute I could in the Big Cypress Swamp, from 1952 until 2003 . 2003 was the last hunting season I spent in my very favorite place! I’ve since moved to the Midwest, and this type of hunting just doesn’t compare to the experiences I had in the swamp! I shall miss that place and those experiences till my last breath!

[@robertbates6057]

I was born in S FL. Dad took us out in the Glades when I was little. It's definitely a Spiritual place. Once you fall in love with it, you never forget it. It's a hard place but you feel the connectivity. Good things are being done to restore / protect but somehow, we just don't trust mother nature enough to allow free flow. Big Cypress is in better shape than the Glades because we took the flow away from the Glades. If somehow the pumping stations stop, the Glades will die.

[@Linda-vw8xu]

I feel the magic of the Everglades and I live in the SW Dessert of the US.

[@ascendtranscend3812]

Beautiful Documentary! thank you for sharing!

[@ascendtranscend3812]

I'm trying to do my part through an experimental music project called Gran Hechicero, to get the latin american community on the boat of appreciating the everglades!

[@markheller76]

Thank god for people with conviction.

[@almamoore8446]

Thanks , very good.

[@billweithman52]

Cool video. I haven’t worked up the courage to snorkel in the dark.

[@henrybadd7116]

In Fl ,been to the Everglades many a time. I just could never picture that beautiful Seen being anywhere else but there.

[@dlspiritdancer9548]

You do mean scene, right?

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

A touching program for me because i am drawn to these types of places. We must save them and stop further development.

[@reecedobson4740]

Awesome video

[@davidpetri4502]

This is proof that when the people get together for a good cause, anything is possible.....we need that attitude today...

Beautiful place, and there are many places thru out florida that are public land with mixed use. Go visit them all!

[@wglenbatemanjr9729]

throughout, yes. Are you AND YOUR PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS ALL NATIVE

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Manatee County had many places that are similar but nothing comes close to Big Cyprus. Just below Naples, 4 hours South of my winter location is Big Cyprus. Before I leave this earth I will travel here.

[@kellyclark7517]

As a Notthern plansplant who has landed in St. Augustine,thank you. Each and every ONE of you souls who fought for what is right and just. Again,thank you❤️💛💚

[@PinewoodsHomestead]

Northern transplants are the reason florida is getting decimated to this very day.

[@kellyclark7517]

I love love LOVE this video! I listen to it whenever I cannot sleep…. it’s so relaxing and no commercials, and makes me want to head that direction! Do any of you locals have anything to say about when PHISH did a show there? If you are not familiar, they draw a very big crowd, some with tickets some not with tickets……. just wondering who might have what to say about that event🤙🏽

[@ScoriacTears]

Bless this land.

[@JohnWilliams-pn7ft]

Thank God Joe got everybody together on the same page against the jetport. It would have ruined the Everglades and made it even worse than it is now

[@johnnywilliams7237]

Not greedy " shit look at it now.not greedy people right.but to the people who live there.hats off to you.

[@charlotteking8123]

Beautiful but some errors IMO. Marjory Stoneman Douglas was not just an "author", she was an activist and heavily involved in the saving of this area.

[@emanuele2004]

vote michael wind next governor of florida independent make world better for all

[@simbaeast6846]

So instead of southwest, they got the mid east florida. And wiped out this wonderful forest that used to exist over here

[@JustinCunningham-m8f]

I live three miles north of the jetport it has changed a lot since 72 but thank God it's still swamp and not city

[@wb7sff]

AMEN !!

Did you know that the Tamiami Trail is also called "old 301?"

[@henrybadd7116]

Why not a chip? Collars get hooked and they kill. Seen it to may times on too many different animals. Hooked on a branch or fence they're stuck and die from exposure. No water, food and in the elements.... shame and happens way to often. Found a friend's dog hung himself on a runner cable. Looked soo safe. Had a 40x 40 chain link a nice dog house trees. But he went on a vacation and had a neighbor looking out. He'd put the dog out at day and in at night . But one night he ran around the dog house and the cable got stuck them tried to jump on to it. When he went back down . It was on the wrong side and the cable was too short. Shame ,just didn't see that coming on a cable 20 ft long.

They eventually did kick people out of their hunting cabins which they swore they would never do though

[@diskoeric2248]

they also kicked the indians out

[@RocketGator05]

FYI The Miccosukee and Seminole fled into Florida and the Everglades during the collapse of the Creek Confederacy.

[@diskoeric2248]

fled or pushed

[@RocketGator05]

@@diskoeric2248 well they were being chased by pioneers so fled, pushed, however you want to say it.

All should belong to seminole natives

Don't feel too sorry for them, they are all millionaires now by the time they are 18. They each get close to $130,000/yr from the billion dollar revenue generated from the casinos and Hard Rock Hotels all over the world. I bet they would rather have that, than the swamp.

[@siksika4603]

What about the tribes that were there before them. Seminoles were originally Creek, and they massacred the original inhabitants.

[@barrywainwright3391]

Towards the end of the video the guy that claims to be an Indian is not Indian but a Mexican you can tell by his accent and the way he and his family look. He is claiming to be Indian tobise ad an advertisement to better his business. At least that is my opinion. I live in NJ and there are tons of Mexicans here.
