In a live update on September 17, 2024, Friends of the Everglades Executive Director Eve Samples will speak with Casey Darling Kniffin from Florida Wildlife Federation, Ryan Smart from Florida Springs Council and Jessica Namath, who catalyzed the public response with a Facebook page “Protect Jonathan Dickinson State Park” that grew to 45,000 members in less than a week, discussed what’s next.
