Edge of the Everglades: Big Cypress National Preserve - A WGCU Documentary

[@mauallison7755]

Most don’t appreciate it. I definitely do. South Florida is a magical place.

[@yoshit9819]

I spend lots of time in the big cypress. Absolutely amazing the diversity of wildlife.

[@brightmooninthenight2111]

Fantastic documentary. When that man talked about yhr Cypress Cathedral i feel exactly like this. I can completely relate. I live next to Okefenokee, the largest swamp wildlife refuge of Southeastern Georgia, similar in some ways, except instead of crystal clear water its pitch black and mirror like. I totally want to visit big cypress and everglades one day. What a history, an incredible story of conservation.

i sat up on a cypress stump and thought i heard the ghost of osceola cry...... :(

Osceola

A beautifully made documentary about an astonishing place.

[@birkrob]

I love the Clyde Butcher photo studio.

Is this the same guy who does the voiceover for Forensic Files ?? Feel like I can tell his voice from anywhere ! Lol

[@JeepGirl941]

Sounds like him to me! The narrator is most likely Peter Thomas. He lived close by in Naples too! I kept waiting to hear when they came across a crime scene...lol

[@thatotherguy1]

Yes, this is the 2nd video I heard him talking about old Florida. Good stuff.

Amazing place, I have always thought that I could see God's creation in full swing at this place, God has bless me with the ability to se Him right there every time i go.

Beautiful big cats and kittens: called either panther, cougar, puma in Florida, and mountain lion in the high country or other areas of Americas. A few are still being hit and killed by cars in Florida.

Only 100? they were down to 20 at one point, respect has to be shown to those who have helped ensure the everglades stay heathy

[@KettiexD]

I was just here and hiked a little bit of it (a little over 5 miles) the other day and it was possibly the prettiest hike I've done so far. I have to see as much of it as I can

[@WILD__THINGS]

I went hiking there recently and came across a jeep club who were about 30 jeeps deep. They were tearing up the place, drinking, littering and shooting off guns. What a disgrace.

[@chadcaramanna3118]

What was the name of the Club?

[@chadcaramanna3118]

Do you have any pictures?

[@danielsederholm9204]

Whats the music at 8:33?

[@catman8670]

A poison snake will keep me away every time! 🐾

[@willhefner]

If there families were sad imagine how the Indians felt ..🤔 wow what a wonderful world .

[@philipcallicoat3801]

If money's to be made, natural beauty is in dire straights..💔🥺🤑

[@tyellowdragon]

This history triggers me that conscious awareness of the loggers was less than p ant. 500-600 yr+ Cyprus should have and could have been sustainably preserved. SMH forever even to this present day....

Jesus created this place for you! :)

[@logikman1080]

The native American's that lived here for many generations before us were hunters and fishermen. There's a way to do it and a way not to.

[@TheMusicvideoVEVO]

+logikman1080 how did they live in the swamps when there was no land, and it was all just water and trees???

[@logikman1080]

+Mike Younis there is high ground at different places that form islands. The "gladesmen" that live there today have built settlements on them. Also, the Calusa built shell mounds out of discarded food waste like oyster shells and animal bones that eventually became full fledged islands. See: Mound Key.

[@TheMusicvideoVEVO]

Aw well thanks for sharing :) Jesus loves you!

[@logikman1080]

+Mike Younis Yes, He loves us all and died for us.

[@TheMusicvideoVEVO]

logikman1080 glad to see that you believe in Jesus, there are many God-haters out there.

[@blondster104]

Stop the big oil companies. Stop Fracking.

[@TheMusicvideoVEVO]

+Rhonda Black yes they are hurting God's earth

[@sethmorris3556]

God can creat another earth.

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

Fracking doesn't work in Florida, No shale.

[@jadenquinn6977]

Dem vampires sucking the blood from the earth for wealth. Shall we sniper from di swamp?

[@DDL954]

big swamp buggies ? no problem ! ATV's? controversial!!!

[@MoMoMyPup10]

The buggies are used mostly for transportation within, and the ATV's are there recreationally, and generally aren't concerned about preservation.

[@rudbeckia885]

Seems what I saw lots of joy riding.. swamp buggies
