Casting a wider net, our happy trails, a new coastal playbook, swamp and circumstance
About this episode
The episode discusses outdoor activities in Florida, including the rise of pickleball, the love for hiking, and efforts to save coastal areas.
A little outdoorsy talk on " Florida Matters Live & Local." Amid the rise of pickleball, the USTA says there aren't enough public tennis courts in the state. Can communities find the room and investment for both? Also, why do hikers love Florida? Let us count the ways with two trail experts. Plus, we explore a growing movement to save coastal areas called "living shorelines," and give the backstory on WUSF's groundbreaking series, "Defending the Everglades."
