Marjorie Carr was a member of many local environmental groups and a founder of FDE. She helped to get Payne's Prairie set aside as a state park and was a fierce advocate for the Ocklawaha River. For 35 years, she led a coalition of citizen activists in the campaign to protect and restore the river that was successful in having the Army Corps of Engineers Cross Barge Canal project cancelled.
