51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Florida was founded in 1900 in the fight to save the Everglades’ wading birds from extinction. Today, it is a privilege to carry on the 122-year 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú legacy by continuing to work to protect and restore the Everglades.
"51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú has advocated for the protection and restoration of Everglades National Park for 75 years, and today, it is a privilege to celebrate the long road we’ve traveled together with agency, tribal, elected, and NGO partners," said Kelly Cox, director of Everglades policy for 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Florida. "Everglades National Park is a sanctuary for birds and people alike and we are proud to have been involved in the creation of the park and its continued protection," she added.
51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú is excited to see the new Visitor Center — named for 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú game warden Guy Bradley — come on-line and looks forward to the next 75 years of partnership with Everglades National Park. We helped celebrate this important milestone for Everglades National Park by attending the re-dedication ceremony in Flamingo on December 3.
