Save Everglades - A Land Endangered

A Little History: First original and full version of the song, Save Everglades was written in 1994 by Kris Farquhar to accompany the Voices of the Earth books (BMI © 8/7/2007). Piano & Arrangement credit went to the talented Jon Bainter out of Naples, Florida with members of the Naples Philharmonic and Bruce Claypool was the producer.
Song was dedicated to the Florida Everglades, its endangered and threatened species of life, and those that care for the land historically and presently. The iconic Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, the journalist, activist, conservationist and founder of Florida's Friends of the Everglades, is honored and highlighted in this original version as a major-force in the region for education, preservation and protection of the Florida Everglades.
I had the great pleasure of meeting her in 1993 before her passing at the age of 108 in May of 1998. At that time, I was then given the distinct honor of singing this song for her at her Candlelight Vigilance in Coconut Grove, Florida. I will not forget. Creation of the music-video began just as the Deep Horizon oil spill burst in the Gulf of Mexico, April 20, 2010.

NEW
Save Everglades - River of Grass 2020
Kris Farquhar © BMI 2/25/2020 available in choral arrangements for
children and adults by Robert Jeffrey Lowden. Please contact for more information.
The new version is slightly different and has changed to fit children's voices in a choir, and or adults as well. Friends of the Everglades supported this version and we are grateful. To sing for the love of nature is healing and good for all life. Sing along with the lyrics, but be ready for the Florida Puma to start it out! Visuals in every EMF are about education and enlightenment, therefore Lake Okeechobee is highlighted with visuals showing the results of toxic algae blooms.
