The Nature Conservancy in Florida

We need your help today. Tell Florida’s leaders that you support funding for conservation:

Urge Governor Crist to support the Florida Forever program and to take advantage of today’s favorable market for conservation. Now is the time to invest in nature.
Urge your local officials (city and county) to pass a formal local government resolution advocating continued Florida Forever funding and call on them to encourage their state senators and state representatives to support a new, more potent Florida Forever. Visit the Florida Forever Coalition's Web site for a list of counties and cities that have passed resolutions in support of Florida Forever.

Tips for Contacting Legislators About Florida Forever

Find out who your legislators are. Go to www.vote-smart.org, which has a database of all elected officials searchable by ZIP code.
Call your legislators on the phone (Some legislators do not regularly review their e-mail.) If you have the chance to speak to a legislator in person, please take advantage of it. This is by far the most effective way to contact them.
Write a letter and mail or fax it to your legislator's office. Use this sample letter to guide you.
No matter how you contact your legislator, be sure to inform him/her that you are a voter who lives in his or her district.
Please let us know when you've contacted your legislator and whether he or she indicated support for increased funding to Florida Forever: floridaforever@tnc.org.
