On November 21, stand with the Florida Wildlife Federation to safeguard Florida’s beloved wild spaces like Oleta River State Park during Give Miami Day.

Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve achieved an incredible victory in protecting Florida’s public lands, including halting a proposal to open nine state parks, including Oleta, to development. The proposal has been sent "back to the drawing board" and the possibility of renewed threats loom in the year ahead.

Since 1936, the Florida Wildlife Federation has been a leader in protecting Florida’s species and unique ecosystems. Through education and advocacy, we’ve galvanized Floridians from all walks of life—hunters, anglers, hikers, gardeners, bird watchers, and wildlife enthusiasts—to take action. Some of our collective wins include:

  • Prevented damaging legislation that would have impacted Everglades restoration and clean energy.
  • Secured protections for iconic species like the Florida Panther and Goliath Grouper.
  • Passed constitutional amendments to ban oil drilling in state waters and fund land conservation.

Public lands like Oleta River State Park are more than just natural havens—they're sanctuaries for wildlife, resources for clean water, and a peaceful retreats for millions. Your support helps ensure that parks remain protected from future development proposals and that we continue advocating for all of Florida’s treasured wild spaces.

Your Give Miami Day contribution empowers us to:

  • Advocate in Tallahassee, working with legislators to secure enduring protections.
  • Educate and rally communities, amplifying voices to safeguard our parks.
  • Provide legal and scientific expertise, defending Florida’s wild spaces for the long term.
