ABOUT GICLÉE PRINTING
What's the difference between digital printing and giclée printing? Giclée printing is one of the best print reproduction methods available, and allows us to provide a quality product that is guaranteed to not fade for over 100 years. It is a process that uses a specialized 12 color inkjet printer, acid free papers, and pigment based archival inks. Digital inkjet printing is a more cost-effective option for those who love the artwork but are not ready to invest in an archival-quality print.

FRAMES
All four print sizes come solely on the acid-free paper. Mats and frames are not included. It is strongly recommended to withhold frame purchases until after print is received, so as to precisely measure the print for the correct frame size, as slight variation in actual size may occur.

SHIPPING
Every print is shipped via USPS with tracking and insurance.

RETURN POLICY
Full refund if returned in original condition within 14 days. Buyer must contact vis Etsy messages prior to return, and pay return shipping.

This national treasure and designated World Heritage Site, International Biosphere Reserve, and Wetland of International Importance, is an expansive area of land in South Florida, consisting of 1.5 million acres of wetland that features one of the world's most diverse ecosystems. Realizing the importance of this fragile ecosystem, Congress established the Everglades as a National Park in 1934, and in 1947, the park was dedicated by President Harry S. Truman.

The presence of Native American settlers in the Everglades dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries, with groups including the Seminoles. In the 1800s, the village of Flamingo was established by settlers near the end of the swampy Everglades. The landscape is mostly a mix of freshwater and coastal sawgrass prairies, mangroves, marshland, and pine and cypress woods. Thousands of years ago, the Everglades covered much of Florida, from Lake Okeechobee to the Gulf of Mexico. The Everglades has two identifiable portions, a primitive portion that is usually explored by scientists and brave adventurers, and another portion sometimes called "river of grass," where visitors can walk, camp, and canoe.

Despite the threat of draining and development in much of the northern stretches of the swamp, the Everglades still offers a variety of enjoyable activities. Shark Valley Trail, Snake Bight Trail, and the Long Pine Key Nature Trail are some of the best bicycling and hiking areas, where the diversity of habitats within South Florida can be explored. Birdwatchers can spot a single blue heron or an entire flock of roseate spoonbills, ibis, ospreys, and flamingos, among other birds in the Everglades. Both front-country and backcountry camping can be experienced in the Everglades, as well as canoeing and kayaking, which can offer great vantage points on the wildlife and vegetation. Saltwater and freshwater sport fishing is also a common activity in the Everglades. These and many other activities, as well as the incredible biodiversity of the Everglades, attract thousands each year.
