“Whether I'm driving through Everglades National Park from the Anhinga Trail to Flamingo, cruising through sawgrass and lily pads on a Miccosukee airboat, or slogging through the slough in Big Cypress, I love how the Everglades always seem to go on and on.
This is an everlasting ecosystem — but only if we continue to push back against irresponsible development and unjust water management.
Help us at Friends of the Everglades keep up our fight against the threats that face the Everglades by donating during Give Miami Day!”
— Leah Voss, Multimedia Producer at Friends of the Everglades
Friends of the Everglades is a grassroots, nonprofit organization founded in Miami in 1969 by Marjory Stoneman Douglas that advocates for the protection of Florida's precious natural ecosystems. When pollutants and toxic algae plague our waters, when sugarcane burning harms air quality in the Glades communities south of Lake Okeechobee, and when the health of the Everglades' unique ecosystem is threatened, we educate and activate the public so we can collectively have a positive impact on environmental policy. We walk in the footsteps of our founder, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, by promoting a greater understanding of the importance of protecting, preserving, and restoring the only Everglades in the world.
