Program accomplishments
- Wildlife and Wild Lands Conservation Program - From the Florida Keys to the Panhandle, our statewide advocacy programs work to conserve Florida's wildlife, waters, and wild lands for the benefit of all. We partner with many different organizations to advance local, state, and federal policies and funding initiatives that support land conservation through public acquisition and conservation easements. Our efforts also prioritize the protection and restoration of vital waterways such as the Ocklawaha and Apalachicola Rivers, the Greater Everglades, and Florida's springs. We work to improve water quality across the state, recognizing its critical role in sustaining ecosystems and protecting vulnerable species like the Florida manatee. We promote responsible outdoor recreation that respects ecosystem integrity, and we champion the protection of iconic and imperiled species-including the Florida panther, black bear, and scrub-jay-through landscape-scale habitat preservation and the advancement of wildlife crossingsExpenses $652,707
- Conservation Connection program is our statewide education and outreach initiative designed to support our advocacy work and inspire public engagement in keeping Florida wild. Through events, speaking engagements, media outreach, and educational programming, we connect people of all ages with nature and with each other. We offer Gopher Tortoise awareness through the donation of educational signage to public spaces and provide interactive opportunities such as live-streamed programs, impact reports, and online engagement. Our Gardening for Wildlife initiative encourages the creation of certified Florida Wildlife Habitats, empowering individuals and communities to take part in conservation from their own backyards. Whether age 2 or 100, we believe everyone can play a role in Florida's conservation movement.Expenses $385,471
