This excellent video tour is led by Jim Stevenson, retired biologist with the Florida Park Service/Florida Department of Environmental Protection, who explains the problems and challenges encountered in efforts to restore the Ichetucknee River System. Many thanks to Lynn Polke for posting this video on YouTube, and many more thanks to the Columbia County Board of County Commissioners, who funded the project, and the Department of Media & Community Information at Lake City Community College (now Florida Gateway College), who produced the video.
