Help support Florida Forever funding
Dear friends of Florida’s wild places,
As many of you know, funding for Florida Forever — our state’s conservation land-buying program — was recently eliminated from the state budget. You can help demonstrate public support for reinstating this program’s funding by attending the press conference this Wednesday. Your presence, for just a short while, would help a lot. See details below.

Governor Martinez will be joined by County and City officials and legislators from the region who will help decide the future of Florida Forever in the upcoming session.
