About Ernest F. Coe
- Ernest "Tom" Coe (March 21, 1866 – January 1, 1951) was an American landscape designer who envisioned a national park dedicated to the preservation of the Everglades, culminating in the establishment of Everglades National Park.
- Coe was born and spent most of his life in Connecticut as a professional gardener, moving to Miami at age 60.
- He was enormously impressed with the Everglades and became one of several South Florida-based naturalists who grew concerned for the wanton destruction of plants, animals, and natural water flow in the name of progress and prosperity.
- Coe worked for more than 20 years to get Everglades National Park established, but he viewed the effort as mostly a failure.
- However, Oscar L.
- Chapman, former Secretary of the Interior, stated "Ernest Coe's many years of effective and unselfish efforts to save the Everglades earned him a place among the immortals of the National Park movement."
