Since 1984 the Kissimmee River has been the focus of an intensive restoration program. The managers now responsible for creating a functioning river and floodplain are attempting to restore sections of the Kissimmee to some semblance of “nature.” This, the first nationwide attempt to restore a river of such size and ecological importance, is examined in a photographic essay
