Take Action: Tell Lawmakers to Adequately Fund the Florida Forever Land Conservation Program

Florida’s flagship land conservation program, Florida Forever, is in serious trouble. With state budget negotiations ongoing, the House has eliminated funding for Florida Forever, while the Senate budget commits a meager $100 million.

Florida Forever was established in 2001 with an annual budget of $300 million and, along with its predecessor, Preservation 2000, is responsible for conserving more than 2.5 million acres of natural and recreational lands for current and future generations. These conservation lands are crucial for protecting our state’s environment, wildlife, local economies, and critical water resources.

Urge Florida Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Daniel Perez to properly fund Florida Forever in this year’s budget. You can customize the letter below (optional).
