The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Statue

Marjory Stoneman Douglas was an American journalist, author, women's suffrage advocate, and conservationist. Her environmental activism led to the conservation of the Everglades and its addition as a national park in 1947. That same year, she published her most influential work “The Everglades: River of Grass” (1947), considered a classic of the environmental and conservation movement in America. This is a life size statue of Marjorie that was created and donated by Freda Tschumy, a Fairchild volunteer. In the 1930s, already a public figure, she wrote “An argument for the establishment of a tropical botanical garden in South Florida” in support of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s founding. Marjorie died in 1998, in Coconut Grove, at 108 years old.
