Long time Everglades advocate Mary Barley was joined by Audubon and other Everglades supporters as she received a prestigious and well-deserved recognition by Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart in celebration of Women’s History Month.

At the offices of the Everglades Foundation, Congressman Diaz-Balart presented Mary with a copy of the Congressional Record, which detailed the comments he made on the floor of the House of Representatives, describing Mary as “an outstanding individual and someone who has continuously supported South Florida and the Everglades.”

There are few individuals who have made as much of a difference for the Everglades as Mary Barley. From the entire Audubon family- Congratulations!
