The Woman Who Saved the Everglades: Marjory Stoneman Douglas | Full Documentary

Marjory Stoneman Douglas was more than an author—she was a crusader, an environmental visionary whose most famous book, The Everglades: River of Grass, redefined how the world saw Florida’s wetlands. Born in 1890, Douglas overcame personal turmoil, family loss, and societal expectations to become one of America’s most important voices for conservation. In this video, we trace her journey from Minnesota to Miami, her deep love of words, and the moment she realized that the Everglades were not simply a marsh but a living “river of grass.” We explore her battles against drainage projects, her environmental activism, and how she leveraged her writing and public speaking to protect one of America’s most iconic ecosystems. What you’ll get from watching: -The early life of a garden‑city girl who grew up amidst the backdrop of natural beauty and family upheaval -The moment of revelation when the Everglades revealed themselves as more than sawgrass and water -How River of Grass came to be, and why it still resonates today -Douglas’ legacy: Friends of the Everglades, landmark legislation, and continuing restoration efforts ---------------------- We couldn’t do this without you!
