One of America’s most important ecosystems takes up more than half the state of Florida. It’s a river of grass, a cactus desert, and a saltwater bay all rolled into one. And there are alligators and crocodiles. And that’s just the beginning.
Join Josh and Chuck as they dive deep into one of America's most fascinating and fragile ecosystems - the Florida Everglades! After Chuck's recent airboat adventure through the "grassy waters," the duo explores how this unique patchwork of wetlands formed over thousands of years and why it's basically held together by limestone, sawgrass, and what Josh calls "reedy roots and duct tape." You'll discover the surprising geography behind this slow-moving "river of grass" and learn why those nine million Floridians depend on this shallow, tea-colored wonderland for their drinking water.
