COBBLESTONE Magazine July-August 2025. The Everglades are one of the most extraordinary regions in the country. Join us on a trip to South Florida for an up-close look at this one-of-a-kind ecosystem!
Experts think that the Everglades may be one of the last parts of North America to see the arrival of humans. Long before our ancestors made their way to South Florida, prehistoric animals like woolly mammoths and sabertoothed cats roamed the Everglades. Get to know the Calusas and Tequestas, the first people to occupy these lands, and find out how they transformed over the centuries. Then, meet the naturalists who have helped preserve the Everglades over the years, including author Marjory Stoneman Douglas and a former First Lady of Florida.
Explore the vast array of habitats that make up the Everglades and get to know the birds, reptiles, and mammals that call this region home. It has some of the greatest biodiversity in the USA! But not all of this rich animal life is welcome in the Everglades. This region is home to invasive species like Burmese pythons, too! We’ll show you what to do if you ever come across an invasive species while exploring the Everglades. You can even enjoy an exclusive interview with a real Everglades Park Ranger! This issue of COBBLESTONE will transport readers to the Everglades—mosquitos and alligators not included!
