00:00I did not bring my bog shoes.
00:04You didn't bring your clogs?
00:05I kind of f***ed that up.
00:07This may not be the time to reveal it,
00:09but of all the things in the natural world
00:12that give me the greatest amount of fear,
00:15I think bogs and swamps are f***ing one of them.
00:18Oh, really?
00:19Well, you don't got to go on them. I can carry you.
00:22When there were only two sets of footprints.
00:25I was carrying you through the bog.
00:26Being able to learn about the Everglades from Roger
00:29is so cool.
00:30See the leaves on Pond Cypress are oppressed.
00:34Pond Cypress would be spread out like a feather.
00:38The most misunderstood national park in the nation.
00:41Yeah.
00:42It takes coming out here to get what it's all about
00:44and why it's so special.
00:46When I was out here once with Marjorie Stoneman Douglas,
00:48I asked her, what do you think is so special out here?
00:50And she stood there for so long, I didn't think she heard me.
00:53And then she finally said,
00:54did you hear that red-shouldered hawk out there?
00:57And she said, do you see those egrets?
01:00It was one of those moments, you know,
01:01that you don't need to say anything more.
01:03Yeah, thank you for sharing that.
01:05It's cool too, I mean, wetlands are so important
01:07in terms of just like the function they serve.
01:10This is basically a huge basin.
01:12Yeah, this is where the water comes from for Miami.
01:15I mean, this is what's recharging Biscayne Aquifer
01:18and without it, I don't think Miami could exist.
01:22Back in Miami at Charlie's place,
01:24it's almost time to plant one of the rarest natives of all.
01:28That's incredible.
01:29Yeah.
01:30That's such an amazing addition to the project.
