The Changing Face of Nature

Longtime residents of Southwest Florida have seen a great deal of environmental change over the decades. The rapidly growing population has meant rapidly expanding development, both residential and commercial. For instance, Lee County had just over 200,000 residents in 1980, and now has almost 740,000. All these changes to the environment have greatly impacted the various animal species that also call Southwest Florida home.

 

We’re joined by Sanibel author Charles Sobczak to get a preview of his lecture, “The Changing Face of Nature” which he’ll be presenting a number of times in the coming months at various locations around Southwest Florida.
