For fifty years, Florida Audubon has worked with ranchers to protect important wildlife habitat and water resources in the Northern Everglades. These efforts now culminate in a proposal to establish a unique partnership between ranch landowners and the public creating a new National Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area protecting and restoring the Everglades Headwaters.
Over 100,000 acres of conservation easements and 50,000 acres of land purchases are now proposed for acquisition in the area north of Lake Okeechobee and south of Kissimmee. The Everglades need you to speak up on behalf of this proposal to support the testimony of Eric Draper and the efforts of Audubon's Everglades Conservation Team! The comment period was extended until November 25, 2011. Please share this important opportunity with your friends and other nature-lovers in Florida.
