The restoration of Manzanita Village‚ Campus Point and the degraded wetlands will be focused on. Their descriptions‚ future goals and future actions will be discussed to have a better understanding of the sites. Daylight streams‚ Kudzu plants and riparian buffers strategies will be explained to illustrate how they will improve

Fertile soil‚ with moss embedded‚ is scattered near the extensive bodies of water present. Animals coexist in harmony with one another in this ecosystem‚ known as the Everglades. Wetlands are a natural part of our earth‚ and an essential place for wildlife to thrive. However‚ the wildlife’s health has been decreasing continually in the Everglades due to water pollution/depletion and its negative effects. This issue can be ended by ceasing further human development of the Everglades‚ hindering the
