Alligator Alley - Paperback

by L. Jack Moller (Author)

Readers can appreciate why Florida was considered a" sportsman's paradise" and why it is so important to protect remaining undeveloped areas from the dragline and bulldozer. The South Florida swamps and uplands are featured as Jack and his buddies contend with alligators, snakes, bears, and bugs. The activities of many of Jack's friends as well as the political and legal actions taken by sportsmen and women help ensure that some of natural Florida is saved and that the Gladesman culture remains a part of Florida. Feel the urgency of joining the battle to protect the water, habitat, wildlife, traditional and customary uses of the swamps as well as the uplands in Florida. The building of a road through the swamplands enabled development to accelerate but created legal and public support to protect the remainder of what is left of Floridas swamps and woods.
