Legislative action: Florida pollinators need our support

Our partner Florida Wildflower Foundation has a $100,000 appropriation in the House Agriculture Appropriations Budget to preserve and expand native wildflower habitat for pollinators along roadsides AND provide public education for residents and tourists to better understand pollinator habitat needs. FANN and our members have already spoken up to keep this item in the House budget during this contentious legislative session. We now need everyone to step up once again and let Senator Tom Lee know how important it is to keep this tiny investment with huge potential payoff in the Senate budget.

Please ask Senator Lee to invest in Florida’s natural future and the security of our agricultural industry by including the Florida Wildflower Foundation’s appropriation in the Senate budget.

SPECIAL THANKS TO:
District 96 Representative Kristin Jacobs for her wonderful response – Kristin is a proud gardener with an NWF Certified Backyard Habitat and has long advocated for the NatureScape Broward Program as a former 16-year county commissioner. FANN is glad to see that we have a representative informed and excited about the potential for native plant habitat in landscapes of all kinds.
and District 54 Representative Debbie Mayfield, for standing strong for pollinators in the House Agriculture Budget. Thank you!
