About this Event

For 40 years, 1000 Friends of Florida has stood up for the places and communities Floridians love most by educating, advocating, negotiating, and, when necessary, litigating to protect Florida's natural lands, water, and quality of life. Join us as we gather with friends, old and new, to mark four decades of progress, celebrate the people who made it possible, and look ahead to our next chapter.
