Photo by @CarltonWard // Multi-generational Florida cattleman Gene Lollis leads me through a broomsage prairie in the Northern Everglades west of Lake Okeechobee. Buck Island Ranch is a living laboratory where ranchers and scientists from @archboldstation study the effects of grazing on grasslands, wetlands, water storage, biodiversity and carbon sequestration. Results are revealing the benefits of low density cattle for all of these factors in this subtropical landscape. #horse #ranch #everglades @fl_wildcorridor #floridawild #keepflwild.
