Okefenokee

On day 101, the team paddles out of the Okefenokee swamp and concludes their journey. Five hours after leaving the Okefenokee, Carlton and Joe drove into the Tampa Bay area during Thursday afternoon rushour. The constant traffic and surrounding development served as a reminder for how badly the Florida Wildlife Corridor is needed, as well as what is at state if a natural corridor is not protected.

 

Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition. From January 17 through April 25, 2012, a team of explorers including photographer Carlton Ward Jr, cinematographer Elam Stoltzfus, bear biologist Joe Guthrie and conservationist Mallory Lykes Dimmitt, set out to trek 1000 miles in 100 days to showcase the opportunity to protect a connected corridor of natural lands and waters throughout peninsular Florida for the benefit of wildlife and people.
