Friends of the Everglades
Friends of the Everglades was founded by Marjory Stoneman Douglas in 1969 as an advocacy group to preserve, protect and restore the only Everglades on Earth.
Our Goals:
• Compel government agencies to comply with existing environmental laws, and resist any efforts to weaken such laws.
• Encourage politicians to recognize the long consequences of their actions.
• Spread awareness of the importance of the Everglades to the South Florida ecosystem.
