Professor Kalyani Robbins, who focuses on Environmental & Natural Resources Law,  recently took her Environmental Law class on a field trip to the Everglades – South Florida’s complex and globally-unique ecosystem. The purpose of the trip was to gain a better understanding of the pressing ecological and policy issues the ecosystem faces. Students also learned the history of the Everglades and policy challenges, after which they were treated to wildlife encounters.  Several of the environmental statutes covered in the course have an impact on the process of managing the area. Dawn Shirreffs, Senior Everglades Policy Advisor at Everglades Foundation, joined the group to share her expertise.
