Ecology Florida is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and education of Florida's unique and irreplaceable natural ecosystems — from its wetlands and waterways to its forests and wildlife habitats.
Florida is home to some of the most biodiverse ecosystems in North America — and some of the most threatened. Ecology Florida works to protect, restore, and celebrate these natural treasures through science-based conservation, community education, and grassroots advocacy.
"In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks."
— John MuirTo protect and restore Florida's natural ecosystems through conservation science, environmental education, and community engagement that builds a lasting culture of ecological stewardship.
A Florida where thriving natural ecosystems and human communities coexist in balance — where clean water, healthy wildlife, and vibrant natural spaces are protected for all generations.
We combine rigorous conservation science with community-based action — monitoring ecosystems, restoring habitats, educating the public, and advocating for policies that protect Florida's natural heritage.
From wetland restoration to environmental education, our programs address the most pressing ecological challenges facing Florida today.
Florida's wetlands are critical for water filtration, flood control, and wildlife habitat. We restore degraded wetlands through native plant restoration, invasive species removal, and hydrological repair.
