PLAN CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Rivers have always held a special importance and fascination for man. In the earliest days, interest in rivers centered on the more material things; a source of water, a means of transportation, a habitat of edible fish and fowl, and wastewater disposal. While these may still be important for modern man, rivers today have assumed yet another dimension in their ability to serve a wide variety of natural resource preservation and outdoor recreation needs. Whether for scientific research, education, boating, fishing, canoeing or simply marveling at the handiwork of nature, rivers and streams in all their diversity constitute one of the most valuable of natural resources. But rivers, like most things in nature, are susceptible to drastic change at the hands of humans. They may be bridged for highways, dammed for hydroelectricity, dredged for navigation and canalized for water control. Their banks may be cleared and their attendant marshes and swamps drained or filled for development. While much of this change, good and bad, may be inevitable as a side-effect of human growth and activity, it is unfortunately true that most of it diminishes the biological and recreational potential of affected rivers.

  • Response of Everglades Tree Islands to Environmental Change
    Ecological Monographs, 76(4), 2006, pp. 565–583 Ó 2006 by the Ecological Society of America RESPONSE OF EVERGLADES TREE ISLANDS TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE 1,3 1 2 1 2 DEBRA A. WILLARD, CHRISTOPHER E. BERNHARDT, CHARLES W. HOLMES, BRYAN LANDACRE, AND MARCI MAROT 1U.S. Geological Survey, 926A National Center, Reston, Virginia 20192 USA 2U.S. Geological Survey, 600 4th Street South, St. Petersburg, Florida 33071 USA Abstract. Tree islands are centers of biodiversity within the Florida Everglades, USA, but the factors controlling their distribution, formation, and development are poorly understood. We use pollen assemblages from tree islands throughout the greater Everglades ecosystem to reconstruct the timing of tree island formation, patterns of development, and response to specific climatic and environmental stressors. These data indicate that fixed (teardrop-shaped) and strand tree islands developed well before substantial human alteration of the system, with initial tree island vegetation in place between 3500 and 500 calibrated years before present (cal yr BP), depending on the location in the Everglades wetland. Tree island development appears to have been triggered by regional- to global-scale climatic events at ;2800 cal yr BP, 1600– 1500 cal yr BP, 1200–1000 cal yr BP (early Medieval Warm Period), and 500–200 cal yr BP (Little Ice Age). These periods correspond to drought intervals documented in Central and South America and periods of southward displacement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone. The records indicate a coherence of climate patterns in both subtropical North America and the Northern Hemisphere Neotropics. Water management practices of the 20th century altered plant communities and size of tree islands throughout the Everglades.

The answer to that question will probably never be known for certain. In the colorful history of Hobe Sound is a mystery dating back to 1968 that remains unsolved to this day. But the story begins long before that historical date. Life began for Vincent Nostokovich (aka Vincent Natulkiewicz) in about 1908 in Trenton, New Jersey. In later years he would be known as Vince “Trapper” Nelson. Vince was an imposing figure standing at 6ft, 4in tall and weighing in the neighborhood of 240 pounds. He was reported to be a very handsome man, often pursued by the ladies. His story takes many twists and turns to reach the point where his Wildman of the Loxahatchee life suddenly ended on July 30, 1968 at what is known today as Photo Credit Dreaming in the Deep South the Trapper Nelson Zoo Historic District in Jonathan Dickinson Nelson testified against him at the trial for Dykas’ murder and State Park, Hobe Sound, Florida.

    FFFFAA--44HH CCAARREEEERR DDAAYY The Future Farmers of America/4H Career Day-Young Eagles Event is scheduled for January 12th, 2019 at 0900 at the Belle Glade Airport. This function is designed to draw young folks of 8-17 years old to experience flight and be exposed to the “movers and shakers” in Agribusiness. The objective is to enlighten the youth in the agricultural areas as to the opportunities they might expect after being educated in the agricultural sciences. This has been a huge success the past couple years due to the participation of FFA-4H and the public school ag programs. By offering airplane rides we hope to draw young folks in from all around the agricultural area to be exposed to the leaders in SoFla agribusiness. EAA's Young Eagle program provides support for this function in terms of insurance and manpower. The Florida Cub Flyers, Florida Antique Biplane Association and OFFC will supply the pilots and airplanes. A descripton of the flight path and what you’ll be seeing from the air is attached.
