4th Annual Rally for Land Conservation protecting the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
Learn about local conservation efforts for the Florida Wildlife Corridor and
Ocklawaha River Restoration.
Bona fide live NOLA music will be playing in the beer garden all day long with Gumbo Limbo performing traditional cajun, creole, swamp pop and zydeco.
There will be room to dance.
We will be getting down Mardi Gras style in the name of protecting the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
We are turning the beer garden into a conservation block party.
Join us for an afternoon dedicated to protecting the wild places that make North Florida, well, North Florida. From rivers and wildlife corridors to longleaf pine and springs, this is your chance to meet the folks doing the real work to keep it all thriving.
Keynote Speaker
