The organization advanced restoration of the Greater Everglades ecosystem and regional water-quality improvement through coordinated planning, public engagement, and implementation of science-based conservation practices in partnership with state and federal agencies, local governments, nonprofit organizations, landowners, and community stakeholders. Program staff actively participated in public meetings, technical working groups, and interagency forums to inform restoration priorities, provide field-based expertise, and support collaborative solutions that improve ecosystem function, hydrology, and long-term natural resource management across the watershed. Activities focused on developing and demonstrating innovative approaches to reduce nutrient loading, improve water storage and flow, and restore wildlife habitat across agricultural and conservation landscapes. Efforts included piloting nutrient recycling and soil amendment techniques, promoting best management practices to reduce phosphorus and nitrogen runoff, enhancing wetlands and native habitats, and implementing land stewardship practices that increase water retention, soil health, and biodiversity. These initiatives contribute to measurable improvements in downstream water quality and strengthen the ecological resilience of the Greater Everglades ecosystem. The program also supports landscape-scale conservation and habitat connectivity within the Florida Wildlife Corridor. By restoring working lands and protecting natural systems, the organization enhances wildlife movement between public and private conservation areas, sustains large, connected habitats, and benefits wide-ranging and imperiled species dependent on the Florida Wildlife Corridor. In addition, the organization conducted extensive educational outreach through workshops, field tours, site demonstrations, and presentations for agency personnel, conservation professionals, landowners, students, and members of the public. Programming emphasized practical conservation tools, water stewardship, habitat restoration techniques, and responsible land and wildlife management practices that can be replicated throughout the region. Through these combined restoration, connectivity, and education efforts, the program strengthened partnerships, informed public decision-making, and advanced sustainable solutions that protect water resources, enhance fish and wildlife habitat, support the Florida Wildlife Corridor, and promote long-term conservation outcomes across the Greater Everglades ecosystem for the benefit of the public. 192661 192661 Mike Elfenbein Executive Director 40.00 125000 4442 Michael Chenoweth Director 1.00 0 Pete Quasius President 10.00 0 Thomas Oates Treasurer 2.00 0 Nyla Pipes Director 1.00 0 Betty Osceola Director 1.00 0 Heather Cleckler Director 1.00 0 Marshall Jones Director 1.00 0 Jesse Lee Director 5.00 0 false false false false false 1273 false false false false AK AL AZ CA CO AR CT DE FL HI GA ID IN IL IA KY MD KS LA ME MA MI MN MS MO MT NE NV NJ NH NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC SD TN TX VT UT VA WA WV WI WY DC Bonnies Books 5900 Balcones Dr Suite 100 Austin TX 78731 5127079745 false false false false false false false false NONE 0 NONE 0 true X 0 0 0 0 6168 6168 0 0 0 0 6168 6168 6168 6168 1.00000 0.00000 X
