Florida environmental records of Roy E. Bazire, 1955-1997.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/233118298

The Florida environmental records of Roy E. Bazire document his involvement in conservation issues and organizations in that state and specifically those relating to the preservation of the ecology of South West Florida. The islands of Sanibel and Captiva are the primary focus of these records. Efforts to establish the Jay N. "Ding" Darling Wildlife Refuge as well as the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foudation are represented with committee minutes and reports, correspondence with people such as Marjory Stoneman Douglas, land aquisition records, maps, etc. The establishment, history, and activities of the Environmental Confederation of South West Florida, of which Roy Bazire was a founder, is traced through annual records, by-laws, finances, and membership rolls. Projects, research, and workshops sponsored by ECOSWF are also included. The final series of these records consists of subject folders relating to the many conservation organizations that formed in Florida during the 1960s and 1970s and to the documents produced by these groups, along with those published by the government, universities, and individuals. Citizen environmental groups made up the bulk of these organizations.
