About this listen
Wakulla Springs is a sacred place nestled deep in a primeval forest of cypress, live-oak, magnolia and pine. On foggy mornings, one can hear the sounds that were familiar to the First Floridians. By day, the great Wakulla spring offers cool comfort against the heat, and at night the fog returns, transforming the spring basin into a haunted cauldron, the grave of prehistoric beasts and the site of spirit revels.
"An adequate idea of this mammoth spring could never be given by a pen or pencil," a visitor once wrote, "but when once seen, on a bright calm day, it must ever after be a thing to dream about and love."
In my original introduction, I hope that humanity would be "a little better" for having experienced nature at Wakulla Springs. Now it is time for humanity to return the favor—time to defend, protect, clean, and save Wakulla Springs, for truly there is not a moment to waste if Wakulla, that place to "dream about and love," is to survive. I hope that as you listen to Wakulla's story, you will be inspired to take up Wakulla's cause.
