	Biographical/Historical:	Juanita Greene was born in 1924 in South Louisiana and became interested in journalism in high school. While attending Louisiana State University, she worked as editor of the student newspaper. After graduating in 1945, she worked for the Tampa Bay Times and then the Daytona Beach News-Journal before joining the Miami Herald in 1956. Inspired by the efforts of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Greene became the Herald's first environmental writer beginning in 1969 and worked relentlessly until her retirement in 1987. During her long career, Greene was instrumental in the creation of Biscayne National Park by initiating the effort to preserve South Biscayne Bay and its chain of islands. She received many awards from the Florida Press Association and other state and national groups for her writing on the environment as well as Miami's local government, race relations, the Cuban Revolution, and the Cuban refugee influx. In her spare time, she freelanced for environmental magazines. After retiring, Greene continued to work as a freelance writer and environmental activist while championing restoration of the Everglades. Greene died in 2017 at the age of 93.
	Summary:	This collection contains clippings of newspaper articles that Greene wrote; photographs of her, her family, and reporting subjects; correspondence regarding her writings and accomplishments; a series of oral history responses regarding her relationship with Marjory Stoneman Douglas; drafts from a never-published book she was writing about the Everglades, and other materials created and accumulated by Greene.
