"Like the work of Ansel Adams, Clyde Butcher's remarkable photographs gives us an access to nature we rarely see or experience. They not only reveal the intimate and majestic beauty of the Everglades - and the need to save the fragile environment - they also remind us of the abiding kinship we mortals share when we work together to preserve these magnificent places. Butcher's art is a national treasure."
-Ken Burns, Emmy winning filmaker-
