Take Action to support the proposed

Everglades to Gulf Conservation Area!

Presently, there is a historic opportunity to preserve the most important environmentally sensitive lands in the region. It is the proposed federal "Everglades to Gulf Conservation Area"! This initiative would allow willing landowners of important wildlife habitat and water resource areas to sell easements or their land outright for permanent protection. The program would bring potentially millions if not billions of added dollars to Florida for conservation, and because it is strictly voluntary, it would also provide farmers and ranchers more choices and resources to be able to maintain their working lands. 

 

But this won't happen without an upwelling of public support! Please send your comments today in support of the proposed Everglades to Gulf Conservation Area to southeast_fws_planning@fws.gov or to mailing address:  NWRS E2G CA, P.O. Box 700188, Wabasso, FL 32970.  Comments accepted only up until November 1, 2023.
