Be part of a historic moment in the restoration of America's Everglades!

Monday, June 30

This week, the State of Florida announced the proposed purchase of 296 square miles of lands critical to the Everglades ecosystem. The South Florida Water Management District will be voting whether to ratify the purchase on Monday, June 30 at a special meeting, and we would like to encourage you and your friends to attend to show support for the agreement. The meeting's 10:00am at 3301 Gun Club Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33406.

Come early for a strong showing as the Board members arrive. We need to pack the meeting room to make sure the Board members and media get the message that we support this purchase. If you can make a sign and bring it, some possible messages to use: "Restoration of the Everglades Now", "Put the Heart Back in the Everglades", "Save Our Glades Today". (We might have some available there too.)

Birds and Beasts of the Great Parks

[SeekingMcCownsLongspur01] Ten birders joined Paul Bithorn and Brian Rapoza for Tropical Audubon's nine-day trip to the stunningly beautiful states of Montana and Wyoming. From start to finish, they enjoyed perfect weather, with clear skies and comfortable daytime temperatures. During their visit to three national parks and a number of other birding locations, they tallied 152 species of birds, including one unexpected species, seen only by Paul, and spotted 22 different mammals, plus untold numbers of wildflowers, butterflies and other critters! The trip report is now available.

Come out and volunteer!
