Audubon Magazine: Saving Lake Okeechobee
Perhaps no one has worked harder and longer for the Everglades and Okeechobee than Nathaniel Reed. A former Audubon board member and Assistant Secretary of the Interior under two U.S. presidents, Reed has spent decades fighting on behalf of the ecosystem, from Okeechobee to Florida Bay, working today through the Everglades Foundation. Perhaps just as important, few love the Everglades like he does. Here, in this remarkable video from Audubon Magazine, let Reed be your guide to this place of wonder.
