Join The Journey

Walk soft­ly to dis­cov­er the Ever­glades. Lis­ten in the still­ness of the saw­grass. Strug­gle in the muck of a slough. Mar­vel in the mag­ni­tude of a cypress dome. Begin to understand.

In March 2014, a jour­nal­ism class from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Con­necti­cut trav­eled to South Flori­da. They spent  time on a nature pre­serve on the Atlantic and then toured the Ever­glades from Lake Okee­chobee to Flori­da Bay.  They dis­cov­ered an envi­ron­ment not only unique, but sub­tle. Come with them now on their adven­ture. Learn what is at stake. The lead sto­ry, a spe­cial assign­ment by Caitie Pamelee, can be found just below and also in the Recov­ery sto­ry box.  Oth­er stu­dent news sto­ries, fea­tures and  mul­ti­me­dia reports are above and to your right.
