Welcome

The Riverwoods Field Laboratory (RFL) is a facility jointly managed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the Florida Center for Environmental Studies (CES) . Riverwoods' main mission is to support research and educational activities related to the restoration of the Kissimmee River and the greater Everglades watershed.

Established in 1995, Riverwoods coordinates the activities of research scientists, students, and technicians from state and out-of-state organizations and institutions, including universities, water management districts and other agencies.

CES, in collaboration with SFWMD, has developed a comprehensive Education and Research Program at Riverwoods targeting secondary and post-secondary students, educators, faculty, scientists, environmental professionals, and adults. The program highlights water resources education using the greater Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades (KOE) watershed as a model, focusing on the restoration of the greater Everglades ecosystem and the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP).
