Dotted lines warp our view …
Of how a watershed naturally works

I‘m not saying let’s do away with the lines.
All I’m saying is let’s try to find some common ground.
This National Park Service placard at the trailhead to Big Cypress Bend boardwalk has always intrigued me. It’s a state trail, part of Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park which was established in the mid 1970s. So the placard predates the dotted lines that eventually went in, but to me – both then and today – it’s a reminder that our modern-day boundaries are not set in stone, nor should our thinking simply stop wherever they start and end.

This Just In: “Fakahatchee Strand is getting a new visitor center at Big Cypress Bend, which will also lengthen the boardwalk.”
That’s probably why if felt so good to meet up with Fakahatchee’s long-time biologist at a culvert site on Jane’s Scenic Drive. With great enthusiasm Mike said, “Bob, we need to work more together.”
Enthusiasm across dotted lines is not only contagious …
It’s our best path forward to getting the water right.
Glad you met up with my brother Mike at Fakahatchee! Whenever I emerge from a backpacking trip into Big Cypress, I head over to the state park for a swamp walk!
Thank you Charlene. Mike is the best, just so knowledgeable and inspirational. What a privilege it’s been to work with him over the years. Glad to know your out there too getting your feet wet.
