Summary

Friends of the Everglades has launched a major campaign targeting public acquisition of land within the Everglades Agricultural Area for comprehensive environmental restoration efforts. The initiative is designed to mobilize local residents to secure strategic locations for ecological recovery, with a specific focus on the restoration of the River of Grass and the preservation of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Legacy. This strategic action aligns directly with the 2026 celebration of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas legacy and supports the broader legacy of the Everglades, which honors the historical impact of the Stoneman family. By prioritizing the restoration of these critical habitats, the group aims to safeguard the future of the ecosystem and fulfill its mission of protecting the world's most biodiverse wetlands. The proposed project also incorporates resources from multiple organizations, including the Rescue the River of Grass Society and the Third-Party Fundraising Committee, ensuring a coordinated approach to land acquisition and conservation.

To further support these transformative goals, the organization encourages participation through various channels such as newsletter signups and volunteer opportunities, all aimed at creating a lasting legacy.
