Benefit Concert for Everglades Earth First

Half of the original Everglades has been drained, and the national park now protects most of what is left. The Everglades ecosystem is the single source of drinking water for more than 6 million people in South Florida. Only 25% of the original Everglades, the only ecosystem like it in the world, is left today thanks to the overdevelopment of South Florida and the abuse of its resources.
In order to raise awareness, as well as funds, a befit concert is being held at The Country Isles Park in Weston on Saturday December 19th. Anyone is welcome to attend.



"While many Earth First-ers have scientific or ecological backgrounds, our struggle is fundamentally about our intuitive connections to land, water, the community of life around us and our willingness to fight for it. We are committed to working with any groups who share these basic values." - Everglades Earth First activist
