It is officially the holiday season! We cannot believe that the new year is right around the corner and that Highway 1 keeps getting busier as our beloved snowbirds come to roost in the Florida Keys for the winter.
It is a busy time of year for all who call Florida Bay home, but it is also a season of gratitude and giving. We at Florida Bay Forever are so grateful for all of our members, donors, supporters, and friends who have fueled our work for over five years. It is because of YOU that Florida Bay Forever continues a legacy of protecting and preserving Florida Bay in our new offices at the Green Turtle Hammock Nature Preserve. We are so excited to continue to grow our presence and impact for our Florida Keys community. Thank you!
