Today’s livestream with Executive Director Eve Samples and Policy Director Gil Smart led us through key updates as we near the end of the 2025 Florida Legislative session.
Our biggest takeaway? Grassroots advocacy works. If you sent an email, made a phone call, showed up at a rally or a protest — you made a difference. The progress we’ve achieved together to protect state parks from harmful development is proof of that.
Still want to help us get that particular fight across the finish line? Send this message to Gov. DeSantis asking him to sign the State Park Preservation Bill into law now!
As always, we recommend that you stay up to date with all the latest on our Legislative Accountability page on everglades.org including a recap of everything we covered today in our official end-of-session report .
Stay engaged, stay informed and thanks to everyone who tuned in. If you missed the event, you can find the full recording above.
