Program Description:

By canoe, naturalist Sue Ellen Fast explores and interprets this primordial landscape - a vast marshy swamp, dotted with small islands which have formed from floating mats of muck, and fringed by cypress trees dripping with Spanish moss. It is home to thousands of crocodiles and birds of every description. She also investigates the remnant long leaf pine forest here and meets a horse-logger who is thinning out the woods to help sustain it for the endangered red cockaded woodpecker and other creatures of this community. And she learns from a local person how to holler - that's how the early settlers communicated their comings and goings across the marsh.
