Back in the 90s this was just an empty patch of land in Ft Myers FL that had become infested and overgrown with non-native Brazilian Pepper. With some help from the community, the county cleared it all out, replanted it with Bald Cypress, and turned it into a county park and wildlife refuge.
Some photos from a day in the park.
For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and am traveling around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I have visited. :)
