He served on the Florida Constitution Revision Commission, the Florida Community Trust, and the Volusia County Council, on which he was elected to serve two terms. An early advocate for land conservation, he has been recognized with multiple awards, including the Nature Conservancy\u2019s National Public Service Award and the Marine Resources Council Florida Trust\u2019s Lifetime Achievement Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thinking differently about environmental regulation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Henderson said he considers the genesis of modern environmental regulation in Florida to be the Land and Water Conservation Act of 1971. Advocating for policies that were effective in protecting critical natural lands from overdevelopment \u2013 ones developers could not easily outmaneuver \u2013 required a lot of trial and error \u2013 and a lot of improvisation, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Expansive_view_of_wetlands_containing_meandering_waterways_and_vegetation-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"A an image of vibrant green wetlands.\" class=\"wp-image-26118\" width=\"743\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Expansive_view_of_wetlands_containing_meandering_waterways_and_vegetation-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Expansive_view_of_wetlands_containing_meandering_waterways_and_vegetation-500x332.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Expansive_view_of_wetlands_containing_meandering_waterways_and_vegetation-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Expansive_view_of_wetlands_containing_meandering_waterways_and_vegetation-1320x875.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Expansive_view_of_wetlands_containing_meandering_waterways_and_vegetation.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Florida&#8217;s critical wetlands cover millions of acres throughout the state.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t know what we were doing,\u201d Henderson said of the early years. \u201cWe had to make up the rules, make up the procedures, however we were going to do it. So, when the state started embarking on these larger, billion-dollar efforts, (it was) the same thing, we kind of had to make it up along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One innovative approach that proved effective was using public funds to buy up private land that would be preserved and protected in perpetuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat was critical at the very beginning of Florida\u2019s environmental movement was this recognition\u2026 that, if you\u2019re going to regulate people, the concern was that you\u2019re going to take their property,\u201d Henderson said. \u201cTherefore, we needed to have some funds available \u2013 so if you really want to conserve that person\u2019s land, you don\u2019t take it, you buy it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inspired by history<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more than a century, advocates for protecting Florida\u2019s natural spaces and the wildlife that inhabits them have included prominent lawyers, writers, and even a president \u2013 something Henderson\u2019s book thoughtfully examines. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the earliest champions for Florida\u2019s wildlife and their habitat was President <strong>Theodore Roosevelt<\/strong>, who, prior to the Spanish-American War (and thus his presidency) visited the Sunshine State as a birder. He was reportedly devastated upon seeing mounds and mounds of dead birds on Florida\u2019s docks being prepared for shipment to New York, where their feathers would be turned into ladies\u2019 hats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is estimated that as much as 95 percent of Florida\u2019s wading birds were killed for this purpose at the time, Henderson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years later, as president, Roosevelt signed 10 executive orders conserving over one million acres in Florida, starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fws.gov\/refuge\/pelican-island\">Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the state level, Florida established its first park, Royal Park Hammock State Park, in 1915; it is now part of Everglades National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another famous advocate, Marjorie Harris Carr, fought against construction of the Cross Florida Barge Canal \u2013 a centuries-old idea for bisecting the state via an artificial east-to-west canal, which critics derided as a boondoggle that would be detrimental to surrounding ecosystems. The project was ultimately abandoned and its intended area became the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Henderson offered a litany of more recent examples of meaningful land protections in Florida, including Amendment 1 (supported land-acquisition supported by the document stamp tax, which voters overwhelmingly passed in 2014), the successful completion of the Florida Wildlife Corridor, and the popular Florida Forever program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deep Stetson ties<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Gardner_quarterly.jpg\" alt=\"A headshot of a male law professor smiling and wearing glasses outdoors.\" class=\"wp-image-29431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Gardner_quarterly.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Gardner_quarterly-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Law Professor Royal Gardner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though his work sees national recognition, Henderson has long been a member of the Stetson community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was the inaugural director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/other\/iwer\/\">Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience<\/a> at Stetson\u2019s main campus in DeLand.
