Land developers in the 1960s built a grid of roads and dug miles of canals to make way for houses that would never be built. The efforts in Picayune, part of the larger Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, will restore the Everglades back into the “river of grass.”
The project includes removing roads and logging trams, plugging the canals and operating the pump stations all designed to restore water flows close to what they were before development.
Normally, the work in Picayune was done one project after the other. But during a Big Cypress Basin Board meeting in 2019, newly appointed chairwoman Charlette Roman asked the Corps to think differently.
