Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center

This guide to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center in Miami traces a teaching program that began at a hotdog stand on Crandon Park's sand in the late 1960s. It follows the unlikely friendship between the camp's director, Theodora Long, and the aging Everglades writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas, who arrived in 1987 at ninety-seven years old, and the years Long spent chasing donors to give the program a real home. The center finally opened its doors in 1998.
