Legislative Delegation Meetings
Delegation meetings are a vital way for our members to directly engage with decision-makers and ensure Florida’s wild places and waters remain protected. By showing up, sharing your voice, and supporting conservation-minded policies, you help shape the future of our outdoors. Here are key issues we’re focused on.
Senate Bill 180
SB 180 was passed and signed into law in 2025 as a hurricane relief bill but was immediately hijacked by developers who have taken advantage of its broad language to limit local citizen’s ability to manage development at the city and county level. Developers threatened to sue local governments that have attempted to have them pay for impact fees or two are attempting to protect rural and wetlands. The language needs to be changed during the 2026 legislative session.
Florida Forever Funding
Despite overwhelming support by Florida voters the funding for the Florida Forever Program (the program the purchases conservation land) has sunk to a paltry 18 million dollars in 2025. Considering in the past it was not unusual to have 300 million devoted the purchasing conservation lands, this is quite concerning. As development continues to sweep across Florida and property values increase, we need to conserve as much land as possible before it is lost. Our legislators need to know that we want MORE funding to purchase conservation lands.
Springs Restoration Funding
Springs have been declining in water quality and quantity for decades. Unfortunately, the funding that has been allocated for years now not only falls short of not only restoring the springs each year but even maintaining their health. We need funding to be WELL over the 50 million dollars that is the minimum that they need to be funded. More funding is needed to stop the decline and RESTORE our Florida springs which are a global treasure.
