Very good! Thanks!

I was disappointed you didn't include the Six Mile Cypress Nature Center. Students of Lee County through the Environmental Leadership Group organised a successful ballot initiative to purchase that fragile wetland in 1976.

When were the palm trees planted on McGregor Blvd?

[@sarahdeshay1394]

I believe they were planted by (most likely under the direction) of Edison during his lifetime.
